"Our request relates to all the different aspects of the cruelty involved in these experiments," Ladiansky said, "the monkeys, which are social animals that need contact with their own species, are kept in small cages, and during the actual experiments they are placed in a device that does allow them to even move their heads."
The organization also plans to file a complaint with Rehovot Police, claiming that the Institute is conducting cruel experiments in violation of the Animal Protection Law, an offense punishable by up to three years in prison.
"We are hoping that indictments will be filed," Ladiansky said.
Let Animals Live said four Knesset members - Eitan Cabel (Labor), Yoel Hasson (Kadima), Gideon Sa'ar (Likud) and Dov Khenin (Hadash) - are backing the organization's initiative and have called for a special Knesset session on the matter, scheduled for Wednesday.
The Weizmann Institute of Science issued a statement saying that it "abides by all laws of the State of Israel as well as international codes of ethics (including the National Research Council) in all matters pertaining to animal experimentation and welfare. This includes minimization of suffering and an extremely high standard of animal maintenance and care. The Institute will terminate, quickly and unconditionally, any research that does not meet even one of these regulations.
"Animal experimentation is crucial to understanding various biological processes. Such understanding frequently leads to the development of medical applications (drugs and therapies) that save human lives and improve the quality of life for millions," the institute said in a statement," the Institute said.
According to the Weizmann Institute, the monkeys used in the research are rehabilitated and moved to a shelter in Ben Shemen."
Located in Rehovot major Israeli Science Institution is a well known plot of the curruption by Israel Science. My Rehovot took a leadership in enlightening the non ethical wrongdoing by the Weizmann Institute officials, that apparently serves ones private interest.
Despite the statement by the Weizmann that the Institution "abides by all laws of the State of Israel as well as international codes of ethics (including the National Research Council", the Institute did not terminate yet the employment of the currently acting Academic Secretary Boaz Avron, and Professor and Chairman Yoram Groner for their apparent professional misconduct.

Let the scientists do what they have to do. Human beings are much more important than the ladies cry.

The vile experiments inflicted upon innocent, helpless (restrained) animals in Weizmann Institute/Israel reveal unspeakable cruelty, and worse: the cold, calculated brutality of human beings at his/her worst. Sadly, these practices are carried out on every species available, except humans, in labs across the world. Atrocious, untold suffering is endured by the most vulnerable of our species, supported and condoned by governments. We must speak out for these victims of greed, vanity and animal abuse. Thanks for posting the article. Many people are taking action, writing, calling and pleading for mercy for the animals, unseen, in terror and pain behind the lofty doors of so-called "science."
