Breaking news! In a historic milestone for animal welfare and medical progress, the FDA Modernization Act 3.0 has just passed the U.S. House of Representatives! Designed to direct the FDA to update its regulations and fully embrace modern, non-animal testing methods, this bipartisan legislation just needs the President's signature to become law.

Meanwhile, PETA is sounding a massive alarm for long-tailed macaques—monkeys whose wild populations are being decimated to feed the insatiable demands of global laboratories for pointless, torturous experiments.Bringing us the latest is Dr. Lisa Jones-Engel, PETA’s Chief Science Advisor for primate experimentation.
A Fulbright scholar and a former monkey experimenter herself, she spent decades inside the primate research system before concluding that the experiments were not advancing human science as they inflicted terrible suffering on these intelligent and social animals.Dr. Jones-Engel is condemning the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s stunning refusal to consider Endangered Species Act protections for macaques, defying the International Union for Conservation of Nature's assessment that their population has collapsed by up to 70% and they should be considered Endangered! PETA points out the government’s own investigations show illegal capture from the wild is filling laboratory cages with these monkeys.
We will also get a crucial update on the massive community-led battle in Georgia to block a monstrous proposed lab-monkey breeding facility—a fight captured in an explosive new documentary streaming right here on UnchainedTV.But, it isn't all bad news. A true scientific paradigm shift is underway. We will explore the launch of ORIVA—the new federal Office of Research Innovation, Validation, and Application. Operating under the NIH, ORIVA is set to scale revolutionary, human-based research methods like organoids, tissue chips, and advanced computational models.Are we finally witnessing the beginning of the end for animal testing? Let’s dive into it with UnchainedTV’s award-winning podcast Truth Files with Jane Velez-Mitchell.
