WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Mowgli has experienced insurmountable grief and trauma. All of his nonhuman primate
companions at UCHC, the only persons like himself that he knows, have died or been
euthanized while he, for years, watched and waited for his turn to come. Furthermore, in
March 2006, Mowgli was pulled around and choked with a collar so tight that the blood
vessels in his face burst and his eyes bled. Given that Mowgli has not yet been subjected
to any invasive procedures, and has even been deemed unfit for these types of
experiments by a UCHC veterinarian in March 2006, this is the perfect opportunity to
provide him with the life he undoubtedly deserves.
By building alliances with a wide array of activists, advocates, medical professionals and
researchers across the country as well the proprietors of several prominent animal
sanctuaries, we have been able to secure consulting services, veterinary care, and funding
to transport and provide a safe sanctuary home for Mowgli, the last living monkey from
UCHC who is now confined at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
The pieces are all in place to provide a safe haven for Mowgli and we need your help to
insure that the project comes to fruition. As a tax payer in the U.S. whose dollars fund this
research, you have a say.
Please contact the administrators at the University of Mississippi Medical Center listed
below via email and telephone and urge them, given the circumstances listed above, to
agree to release Mowgli and participate with us in the relocation process.

SAMPLE LETTER/EMAIL:
Dear UMC faculty members and staff (or enter individual names),
Thank you for your time. In light of the recent misconduct uncovered at the University of
Connecticut Health Center and the subsequent transfer of a young macaque named Mowgli
to your facility, as a taxpayer and person who abhors cruelty, I am requesting that plans be
made for Mowgli to be relocated to an accredited sanctuary immediately.
This monkey has experienced insurmountable grief and trauma. All of his nonhuman primate
companions at UCHC, the only persons like himself that he knows, have died or been
euthanized while he, for years, watched and waited for his turn to come. Given that Mowgli
has not yet been subjected to any invasive procedures, and that, as far back March 2006, a
UCHC veterinarian declared him unfit for these type of experiments, this is the perfect
opportunity to provide him with the life he undoubtedly deserves.
Animal advocates have already secured funding for Mowgli's transport to and care in a
primate sanctuary: please work with them to ensure that he gets to a safe new home.
Thank you for your prompt and serious attention to this matter. I look forward to your
response.
Sincerely,
Name
City, State
Country
