Release Chimps

A national campaign of the New England Anti-Vivisection Society (NEAVS)

About Me

Project R&R’s mission is to end the use of chimpanzees in biomedical research and testing and to help provide them release and restitution in permanent sanctuary. While we focus on the U.S., our goal is for a worldwide end to harmful, intrusive, and lethal research on all great apes.

My Interests



I'd like to meet:

We are always looking for people to help spread the word, i.e., ask your favorite radio station to play our PSA. Visit: http://www.releasechimps.org/take-action/ to learn about this and other actions you can take!
