Charles River shareholders rejected PETA's primate-disclosure resolution, roughly 25% in favor
PETA's proposal asked Charles River to publish a report on non-human primates it imports. At the May 8, 2024 annual meeting the proposal failed: approximately 11.43M shares for vs. 34.54M against (about 24.9% in favor, excluding broker non-votes).
Re-filed the primate-transparency resolution at Charles River; company recommended against it ahead of 2023 vote
Charles River's board "unanimously recommended against" PETA's repeat transparency proposal ahead of the vote; specific 2023 vote percentage not confirmed in sources reviewed.
Filed resolutions at Charles River Laboratories and Labcorp on primate-import transparency
PETA asked both companies for annual transparency reports on efforts to ensure imported monkeys were properly vet-examined before shipment, and asked Charles River specifically to disclose species, country of origin, and numbers of monkeys imported plus mitigation of impact on wild populations, citing prior federal transportation violations.
