pepa garcía on 17 Nov 10Actress Pamela Anderson recently joined the PCRM Legislative Fund in urging Congress to support the Great Ape Protection Act. The act would ban invasive chimpanzee experiments and support human-based research methods. In a letter to lawmakers, Anderson zeroed in on chimpanzee experiments on hepatitis C. "As one of more than 3 million Americans living with hepatitis C," she wrote, "I am writing to ask that you take steps to end ineffective and cruel research using chimpanzees and direct federal funds to modern, human-based research methods that will be more effective at finding a vaccine and treatment for hepatitis C and other deadly diseases."
