    veterinary reports show the condition of a female monkey called “Animal 15” during the months leading up to her death in March 2019. Days after her implant surgery, she began to press her head against the floor for no apparent reason; a symptom of pain or infection, the records say. Staff observed that though she was uncomfortable, picking and pulling at her implant until it bled, she would often lie at the foot of her cage and spend time holding hands with her roommate.

    Kinda amazing they go to the SEC for investor fraud instead of the courts for persecution of torture

    I wonder if these “scientists” were the type of kids that would burn ants to death with a magnifying glass too

      These accounts do sound awful and I personally don’t condone them, but I’m sure some monkey suffering from medically induced cancer with several tumors doesn’t have fun. Testing on animals is neccessary before any human trials.
