Stop animal experiments with monkeys in Tübingen!

the occasion of the report in the new "Animal Liberation" I will Today you become familiar with the animal studies at the University of Tübingen.
there has been some time Kamp adjustments of Doctors Against Animal Experiments Germany, with the treatment of animal experiments at the University of monkeys.

Quote of doctors against animal experiments:

" be at three institutes in Tübingen rhesus monkeys tortured in brain research, you will be forced by thirst, for hours every day to meet with bolted-head tasks on the screen via a hole in the skull.. electrodes inserted into the brain. The agony of the animals can take years. The benefit for sick people is zero. In Berlin, Munich and Bremen in the last few years like animals . For ethical reasons and lack of medical benefit is not approved "

These three institutes in Tübingen:

1) Department of Cognitive Neurology, Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research, University of Tübingen
2) laboratory Primate Neuro-Cognition, Department of Animal Physiology, Institute of Zoology, University of Tübingen
and
3) the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen

In the first two institutions will explore the Zählvermögen of rhesus monkeys . In the skull of the animals is a borehole. Over this hole a chamber for electrode and a metal bolt implanted on the head. The animals have to sit in a primate chair and called for several hours a day. In the chair, they must recognize dots and numbers on a screen.
the head can not move the monkeys, as it is screwed to the bolt to a frame. Brain waves via electrodes are measured.
something hard to imagine, but I would have liked to spare you the pictures ...

The monkeys must have a gedrückenten release the lever at the right moment, then they get a sip juice through a tube. The monkeys have nothing else to drink. They are artificially thirsty held! For the little bit of juice monkeys do all that is required of them ... often have to endure the torture of monkeys for several years himself.

In MPI, the neural activity in the brains of monkeys in memory performance in the consideration or are being investigated by facial expressions. The process is much the same as described above.

And now the key: these tests have no real benefit!

The tests are painful for the animals and for the development of drugs or therapies to human diseases not at all important.

'understanding of what happens in the brain, while monkeys count Estimate quantities or view images need no one. This is pure basic research. The only beneficiaries are the experimenters themselves, who are mounting a long list of publications in r enommierten journals and research funds reap. Funding is all from public funds "(Doctors Against Animal Experiments Germany)

And now what can I bring in spurts absolute white heat.

An ethically sound research on the human brain is possible Just today
Modern technology allows.. to research the human brain to the smallest details.

"With imaging, tomographic method can study the processing of nerve impulses in the brain of volunteers. This type of research provides data relevant to human patients suffering from epilepsy, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other neurological diseases are helping to. " (Doctors Against Animal Experiments Germany)

So it's really important to stop these attempts. Last year there was a demo in April and I hope it will be a second, many people were there and have been informed, despite the bad weather, and were dismayed. Every vote counts, whether letter or signature. Do something, move something, so that this indictment of science History is soon ...

The ISA logs off. Finally, there still needs to be done.
