Russia's Monkeys-to-Mars Mission Draws PETA Protest

The word from Russia is that the country wants to send monkeys to the Red Planet by 2017. A few months ago, it was reported that researchers from the Russian Academy of Science are busy training four macaque monkeys to make a long-distance trek to the Red Planet. Researcher Inessa Kozlovskaya is the leader of the team responsible for teaching the monkeys at the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
