Death of Sellers Chimpanzee The death of Sellers Chimpanzee cannot be fully documented because Sellers died at Emory University's Yerkes Primate Center. Emory University is a private school and although it accepts your tax dollars, Emory refuses to answer to the public about animal experiments. The National Institutes of Health awards your tax dollars to Emory but also refuses to help the public obtain information. In 2001, Yerkes' whistleblowers stated Sellers Chimpanzee was being used in a gout experiment when he was found dead with his head wedged between the bed board and the back of the metabolism cage wall. Sellers was anesthetized in the morning and kept under for 2 hours. He was again anesthetized that same afternoon. Yerkes Primate Center, an entity that claims to be experts in this field, cannot determine when Sellers died. Although Yerkes claimed Sellers had a heart condition, the USDA issued an "Official Warning, Violation of Federal Regulation" in the case of Sellers citing negligence from a "failure to provide primary enclosures constructed and maintained so that they protect the non-human primates from injury." Unfortunately, Yerkes received only a warning in this incident--like so many other times primates have been killed by negligence. Read the USDA/APHIS citations and documents. Rest In Peace Sellers knowing your kinsmen are working for the release of your family.
