For over 10 years, monkeys have been confined inside a York University research facility. Many members of the public have seen the recent exposé, but few have had the opportunity to understand who these monkeys are as individuals, what they have endured, and why Animal Alliance of Canada continues to call for their release.
Join us on Tuesday, July 21 at 1PM ET for a candid discussion with Katherine Logan, whose investigation, released through Last Chance for Animals, exposed the suffering of monkeys confined inside a York University research facility.
A firsthand account from behind closed doors
Through photos, video footage, and firsthand accounts, Katherine will take us inside the investigation and introduce us to the monkeys who are still trapped there. She will share what she witnessed, the bonds she built, the small moments that revealed each monkey’s personality, and the signs of distress that no animal should be forced to endure.
Not just what happened, but what comes next
This webinar is about more than what took place out of public view. It is about what can happen next. Together we will explore why these monkeys should not be dismissed as “unreleaseable,” how rehabilitation and release pathways could be pursued, and how innovative, human-relevant science can replace harmful animal research. York University has an opportunity to choose compassion, accountability, and a more ethical future for science. The session will close with clear, concrete actions you can take to support the campaign and keep speaking up for the monkeys still inside.
