Do this for all the animals! Technology has evolved so much there’s no need for any of this anymore. 💫🫶🏻
Breaking news out of the United States: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has officially announced that it will end all experiments involving monkeys in its research laboratories. The decision marks a major shift in one of the world’s most influential scientific institutions, which has relied on primate testing for decades to study infectious diseases, vaccines, and medical treatments.
According to officials, the CDC will begin phasing out all ongoing primate research, with a full transition to alternative testing methods already underway. These alternatives include advanced computer modeling, organ-on-a-chip technology, and cell culture systems that can replicate human biology more accurately than animal testing ever could.
Animal rights advocates are calling the move a historic victory, saying it’s a long-overdue step toward ending unnecessary animal suffering in the name of science. For years, organizations have criticized the use of monkeys in experiments, citing both ethical concerns and scientific limitations.
The CDC says this change will not slow progress in public health but instead push innovation forward by embracing safer, more humane and more precise technologies. Many researchers believe this decision could set a new global precedent for how laboratories study disease and test treatments in the future.
