Primate Products Negligence Leads to Monkey Strangulation

A heavy fine - $10,000 – should be leveled at the Primate Products laboratory, said SAEN (Stop Animal Exploitation NOW), a national research watchdog organization, which uncovered the death & negligence. SAEN has filed a federal complaint with the USDA, which oversees research laboratories.

SAEN said the records reveal that a monkey strangled to death after becoming entangled in an enrichment device.

“Primate Products has clearly demonstrated incompetence that has killed a monkey," said Michael A. Budkie, A.H.T., Executive Director, SAEN. "This bungling laboratory deserves the maximum penalty allowable under the law."

The NIH report and SAEN's Official Complaint are available upon request from SAEN.
