Ending 25 Years of
Baboon Experiments at UMB
#
After more than 25 years, grotesque and scientifically baseless experiments studying estrogen suppression in pregnant baboons and their babies at the University of Maryland-Baltimore (UMB) have been shut down.
Key Highlights #
- CAARE’s advocacy led to the termination of long-standing baboon experiments at UMB.
- Female baboons were confined, repeatedly impregnated, and subjected to invasive procedures for a study deemed irrelevant to human diabetes.
- Federal funding for the project has ended, and UMB confirmed the experiments are over with no plans to resume.
- A second related project remains active for one more year, but CAARE is investigating its status to ensure no new experiments are conducted.
Statements #
This historic victory belongs to you. Because you spoke out, took action, and stood with CAARE, these egregious experiments have finally come to an end.
