Elon's Monkey Business - Primates Are Not Prototypes

Location Details:

Join us as we take a stand against Neuralink’s cruel and unnecessary experiments on primates. Neuralink, a company owned by Elon Musk, has subjected sentient animals to invasive brain chip implants, causing immense suffering and death. Primates, who share profound cognitive and emotional abilities with humans, are not disposable prototypes for tech experiments — they deserve freedom and respect.

Our action will use satire and symbolism to call attention to Neuralink’s exploitation of primates. With props like a giant Elon head and the infamous sink he brought to Twitter, we aim to make a serious statement in a way that grabs attention on social media. The message is clear: it's time to let that sink in — animal testing is outdated and inhumane. Primates are not products, they are not test subjects, and they should not suffer for tech advancements.

Let’s show the world that innovation shouldn’t come at the cost of lives. Join us in demanding that Neuralink end its cruel experiments on animals! ✊🐒
