The Rachel Berry of 'Glee' has written a letter to National Institutes of Health, demanding the government to safe 14 chimpanzees whose lives were threatened from invasive experiments."Glee" star Lea Michele asked the U.S. government to save 14 chimpanzees that were shipped to Texas to be used for invasive experimentations at a laboratory in San Antonio. The 24-year-old beauty wrote a letter directed to the Director of National Institutes of Health to fight against animal harassment.

Calling herself an "animal protection advocate", she wrote, "I implore you to help 14 chimpanzees who were recently moved to a notorious Texas laboratory, where they are being used in harmful experiments." She also begged the government to send those animals back to Alamogordo Primate Facility.

The Rachel Berry of "Glee" also specifically mentioned one female chimp named Cammy, who was taken away from its mother on the day she was born. Fighting for those animals, the brunette beauty criticized, "I'll never understand decided to put Cammy and these 13 others retired chimpanzees back into a lab."

That was not the first time Lea has spoken up for animal protection. In August 2010, the New York-born starlet rescued six stray kittens she found on the Paramount Studios lot. The former Broadway star also admitted that she once released a dog which was left tied on a fence during a shoot at Long Beach last year. Last February, she teamed up with PETA to protest against carriage horse cruelty as well.
