People Against Chimpanzee Experiments

About PACE

There now exists a huge amount of opposition to the confinement of great apes, such as chimpanzees, in research laboratories. PACE was formed, in 1990, as a voice for this opposition. We also act as advocate for these human-like individuals, helplessly imprisoned in laboratories throughout the world.

PACE Objectives

The total cessation of the use of chimpanzees and other great apes in biomedical research and toxicity testing by means of lobbying legislators and exposing findings from laboratories; the immediate target is a Europe-wide ban
The end of chimpanzee breeding programmes for research use world-wide
To work with other primate welfare organisations to ensure that ex-laboratory chimpanzees are provided with caring retirement programmes in Europe and world-wide
