Subject: [Global AR List] Fighting to Free Felix
Felix is a primate who is currently incarcerated inside Oxford University and will be used in a series of experiments into brain function. Felix was featured in the BBC2 documentary, ‘Monkeys, Rats and Me’, shown in November 2006.
Imagine being condemned to live your whole life behind bars in a cage that is barely big enough to hold you. Imagine, never being able to see beyond the bars into the natural world that is your birthright, never breathe fresh air, never interact and form relationships with your own kind. In this life, you will be ‘trained’ to do tricks for a reward, and will be punished if you fail; you will have electrodes implanted deep into your brain through your skull, you will experience years of abuse and then at the end of that abuse you will be put to death. This is the fate that awaits Felix.
There is now a Fighting for Felix Petition online.
Please go to: petitionthem.com/default.asp?sect=detail&pet=3793 and sign the petition.

Wherever you live in the world you can play your part in helping us to Fight for Felix.
The SPEAK Fighting for Felix petition is just a part, but nonetheless an important part in our fight to get Felix released.
It’s important that we act NOW before it’s too late.
Please cross post widely and forward the petition details to family and friends.
Felix needs us all, let’s not let him down.
Thank you.
