Alamogordo Primate Facility December 9, 1982 would have been a joyous day for the parents of Peg Chimpanzee had Peg not been born in a research facility. Peg would die a young adult at 20 years of age on March 8, 2002 of 'renal failure, heart failure. Anuria, cardiomyopathy. Unresponsive to emergency care." PFP is attempting to find out more about Peg and others at Alamogorgo and formerly of the Coulston Foundation. Addition information will be posted about each primate as it is received. 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. This information is from documents received thru a FOIA request from DHHS. Remember, your tax dollars continue this. Complain to your elected officials.
