Two animal rights groups are wrestling with the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s real estate buyer to purchase a property wedged between two primate research facilities.
The university has offered to buy the property for $1 million, outbidding the activists by $325,000. But the animal rights groups say they have a contract allowing them to buy it first.
The groups, Alliance for Animals and the Primate Freedom Project, want to create a museum at 26 Charter St. The groups say the museum would detail the suffering of animals who serve as research subjects.
