End maternal deprivation experiments on primates @ SUNY

This petition was published by Laura Medley on Aug 27, 2001

We the undersigned call on Dr. John C. LaRosa, as President of the State University of New York (SUNY) Health Science Center in Brooklyn, NY, to end immediately Dr. Leonard Rosenblum's experiments that seek to induce panic, anxiety and fear in mother and infant macaque monkeys. These experiments, in various forms, have been going on for OVER 30 YEARS. But 50 YEARS of clinical and observational studies have already established that maternal deprivation IS damaging to infants and can lead to panic disorders later in life. Rosenblum's "research" is outdated, unnecessary and cruel - as well as a waste of taxpayer dollars. As the largest state-run university in the country, we call on SUNY to meet its obligation to use our money responsibly and to promote public health - not torture animals.
