The actress is fighting for the rights of 14 chimpanzees that were shipped to a Texas laboratory in order to undergo experiments that she thinks could kill them.
The 24 year-old has written to the institute to try to protect the chimps being used and get them moved to a sanctuary.
According to E! Online, Michele 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.
'We've learned so much about chimpanzees in recent years. We know that chimpanzee mothers mourn terribly if their infant dies, much like a human mum does. Chimpanzee infants in the wild stay with their moms for years. But in labs, infants are usually taken away from their mothers just a few hours after birth.'
