Alamogordo Primate Facility June 2004 brought the death of Shane Chimpanzee at APF. Shane was identified as #CA0118 and he death is noted, "shane died on June 2 of acute heart failure. A gross necropsy revealed an enlarged heart with the right side being severly dilated and the left side severely hypertrophic. Histology is pending". Shane's death brought the APF census to 262 chimpanzees. 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. Want to help the primates? Write your US senators and representatives. Tell others about life in laboratories. Get involved. Wear a Primate Freedom Tag. Make a difference.
