PETA • Sep 28, 2026
Actor Ron Perlman is speaking out against the University of Minnesota’s controversial experiments involving drilling holes into the brains of monkeys. Perlman has joined forces with animal rights group PETA to demand an end to these invasive procedures, which have been deemed cruel and unnecessary by many critics. The experiments have been criticized for causing unnecessary suffering to the animals and raising ethical concerns about the treatment of animals in research settings.
Perlman and PETA are urging the University of Minnesota to stop these experiments and instead focus on more humane and ethical research methods that do not involve harming animals. The actor has highlighted the need for greater compassion and respect for animal welfare in scientific research, and hopes that his voice will help bring about positive change in how animals are treated in laboratories. As the debate over animal experimentation continues, Perlman’s advocacy for more ethical treatment of animals in research settings is gaining attention and support.
