The Bay Creek Neighborhood Association passed a resolution Monday asking the City Council and Dane County Board to create a task force of experts to examine if the use of non-human primates in research is ethically justified.
“The motivation for the resolution originated because a resident of the neighborhood brought this topic to our attention,” said Dan Kennelly, who is secretary of the Bay Creek Neighborhood Association. “Itâ??s someone who is passionate about the issue. So we passed a very simple and purely symbolic statement that expressed a wish to see more analysis and debate on the topic.”
