A Dane County circuit court judge ruled in favor of animal rights activists who wish to build a museum between two primate testing facilities on the UW-Madison campus.
Judge Sarah O�Brien ruled that Richard McLellan, who supports the Primate Freedom Project, had a legitimate commitment from landowner Roger Charly to sell some land in Madison for $675,000. The parcel in question is between the Harry F. Harlow Primate Psychology building and the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center. Organizers with the Primate Freedom Project want to use the land for a museum, which they say would expose the cruelty of primate research.
