A group of outraged and frightened Georgia residents have united to fight a plan to put what would be America’s largest laboratory monkey-breeding facility in the small town of Bainbridge, Georgia, which is 233 miles south of Atlanta. The residents have filed a lawsuit in an attempt to stop the highly controversial plan to house 30-thousand monkeys, TWICE the human population of the town. If you want to help, donate here:

PETA is on the ground supporting the residents. They argue that the plan should be invalidated because local officials approved the proposal during an illegally assembled meeting, violating Georgia’s Open Meetings Act. Basically, the citizens say this was being done behind their backs and they are furious over the impact on their safety and their property values. They say the presence of thousands of caged monkeys in distress, waiting to be shipped off for cruel experiments would be a constant source of anxiety and cast a pall over their close-knit community. Now, UnchainedTV’s Jane Velez-Mitchell gets the very latest from PETA’s Amy Meyer, resident Kristina Martin of Stop the Money Business Bainbridge Group and resident Linda Miller.
