The animal rights group PETA sent a letter to the Pentagon<\/a> on Monday, demanding that they cease testing on live animals in their quest to understand the mysterious ailments known as “Havana syndrome.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Havana syndrome was first reported in 2016 by diplomats working at the U.S. embassy in Cuba, who reported a strange set of symptoms ranging from cognitive problems to hearing and vision loss. Since then, hundreds of other U.S. personnel around the world have experienced similar ailments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence concluded in a report<\/a> earlier this month that it is “very unlikely” a foreign adversary is responsible for the symptoms, attributing them instead to “preexisting conditions, conventional illnesses, and environmental factors.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite that conclusion, the Department of Defense is continuing<\/a> their research into whether a weapon system could have caused the health incidents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘HAVANA SYNDROME’ NOT LIKELY CAUSED BY MICROWAVES OR OTHER FORMS OF DIRECTED ENERGY: CIA<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

That research should not include testing on live animals, which is not only “cruel and wasteful” but also “futile,” PETA science policy adviser Maggie Wi\u015bniewska wrote in a letter to the Pentagon on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We again urge you to renew the ban on weapon-wounding tests on dogs, cats, marine animals, and nonhuman primates,” Wi\u015bniewska wrote in the letter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Such a prohibition should apply to but not be limited to the following: an apparent military plan to expose monkeys<\/a> to pulsed microwave radiation in a misguided attempt to determine human brain effected associated with an acquired neurosensory syndrome, commonly referred to as \u2018Havana syndrome.\u2019”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Politico first reported last week that the U.S. Army gave a $750,000 research grant to Wayne State University to study whether ferrets exhibit similar symptoms to “Havana syndrome” when they are exposed to radio frequency waves.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wi\u015bniewska went on to argue that animal testing is counterproductive because many of the results don’t translate to humans, writing that other more effective methods are available.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
