Primates Incorporated’s mission is to improve the quality of life for monkeys who have been retired from research facilities, private ownerships, and the entertainment industry by providing them with an indoor/outdoor sanctuary near Westfield, Wisconsin.

According to the 2018 USDA animal care report, there are approximately 106,000 monkeys living in U.S. research laboratories. Some researchers have asserted that sanctuaries are unnecessary because the monkeys are re-used or euthanized.
However, many other researchers would like to retire their monkeys but are often unable to find space for them at the nine existing sanctuaries. Those monkeys who had a brief chance at retirement will likely not get another opportunity.
Primates Incorporated believes as long as the FDA testing regulations and the primate research industry exist, the least we can do as a society is give back to the primates by retiring them out of laboratories into spacious and enriching sanctuaries.
Primates Incorporated is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. Donations are tax-deductible as charitable contributions.
