Intelligent, social macaque monkeys removed their own fingers from stress. Why Is Elon Musk's Company Allowed to Torture Monkeys? Demand an Investigation of This Abuse! Sign Now      DIANNE,   He's a billionaire who's famous for making cars that are neither self-driving nor very safe, and for taking over whole towns with his rocket company. He's Elon Musk and his recent research venture into "brain chip" technology involved mutilating the brains of monkeys. More than one dozen of these innocent animals died because of Musk's mad-scientist experiments. While Neuralink, Musk's brain chip company that's responsible for the shoddy research, is denying the claims and asserting that it acted in line with ethical principles for research, watch groups claim otherwise. Now, animal lovers are demanding the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) take action.   The organization Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) has filed an official complaint with the USDA against Neuralink. In its report, PCRM claims Neuralink's research caused animals "extreme" suffering — as evidence by signs such as vomiting, stress and anxiety, hair loss, and loss of appetite. Some monkeys even displayed self-mutilating behaviors, including painfully removing their own fingers. It seems clear that Musk's company violated the Animal Welfare Act, but the USDA has yet to act on this violation. There is no reason his company should EVER need to torture innocent animals to conduct its research. Sign the petition to demand that the USDA investigate Neuralink and the University of California Davis for their treatment of animals during these unethical experiments! Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. We must not allow a billionaire who believes he is beyond reproach to get away with the serious injury, suffering, and death of many monkeys. Sign the petition to speak out for the animals.      Sign Now
