Here are the results of the EU flirtation with restricting research on primates. Researchers can continue most experiments on mankind's closest relatives -- chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans -- after European Union lawmakers watered down proposals to restrict testing. It's from a Reuters article from last May.I
This blogger, Earle Holland at Oregon State University, doesn't seem to believe the allegations coming out about the New Iberia Primate Center in Louisiana. He is the assistant vice president for research communications in the Office of University Relations. Tags: chimpanzees medicalresearch animal welfare.
Another crass attempt at primate slavery for money wrapped in "we put people first" robes." The proposed primate breeding facility would violate both the letter and the spirit of Puerto Rico’s progressive new law, which strictly limits the use of animals in experimentation. From the ALDF action alert page.
This became clear from a report addressed at the European Parliament (EP) session on May 5–7, which seeks to vote on a directive concerning animal research. Tags: animal experimentation europe animal researchmedicalresearch. I really hope this passes.
I came across these stories about two different medicalexperiments using mice. In this experiment, scientists tested whether lighting can cause depression. Plus, are mice comparable to kids (although I would prefer mice subjects to primates who are so much more sensitive)? One of the conclusions?
Bill Richardson is asking to tour a former medicalresearch lab in southern New Mexico that houses more than 200 chimpanzees. The contract expires next year and Richardson opposes a plan by the agency to transfer the chimps from the Alamogordo Primate Facility, where they are no longer used for medical testing.
I've decided to quit my book club, which I dearly love, because of a member who works in medicalresearch and supports animal experimentation. This is a link to a recent scandal at a primate center in Louisiana. This has been a very difficult decision for me, because I have such good friends in the group. She supports this.
I particularly question the use of chimpanzees in medicalresearch. I recently was escorted through a large primateresearch laboratory by its director. The natural experiment must have been tried very infrequently, at least recently. The following is from The Dragons of Eden by Carl Sagan.
In a brief tour of a particular biotech research company, I was taken to the animal lab. They did not experiment on primates (I asked!), but did experiment on mice and guinea pigs. Tags: animal experimentation mice Guinea Pigs medicalresearch biotech. It was a jarring moment. It was an incongruous message.
