War on terror: Terrible for monkeys

(USDA photo)
Although “95 percent of the drugs used on
humans after promising results in animal
testing fail,” this hasn’t slowed the agonizing
testing of monkeys any.

Lauren Walker of Newsweek reports that   research primates “have been exposed to a slew of deadly bacteria and viruses, sometimes without pain relief…”  All this in the name of “biodefense research following 9/11.”

For example, “long-tailed macaques were made to inhale a lethal amount of anthrax.” Those in the “untreated control group” were simply “left to die.”

Thousands of monkeys have been forced into this cruel experimentation.  Some researchers remain unconvinced that such testing is either “appropriate or reliable.”
