Alamogordo Primate Facility This record for B.G. Chimpanzee, #5297, was obtained thru a FOIA request to the Department of Health and Human Services. The life of B.G. Chimpanzee is but a footnote in records obtained from DHHS. As so many more, PFP will attempt to find out more about the life and death of B.G. B.G's birthday was 12/13/1986 and he died June 23, 2001 due to 'severe diffuse glomerulonephritis with possible amyloidosis." (Kidney/renal failure.) Documents about APF chimpanzees tell us: "3. Most of the chimpanzees have either been infected with one or more chronic viruses, and even if they were negative controls the chimpanzees have been subjected in the past to many invasive procedures such as punch biopsies of the liver and anesthetic events. These procedures are thought to contribute to long-term prolems in some animals with liver and renal failure, and various blood abnormalities." Comments like these tell us the extraordinarly sloppy job these facilites do and the government regulating agencies who get rich 'regulating' them. As has been determined long ago, animal experiments are for the money, not for human health.
