Alamogordo Primate Facility This record for Topsey Chimpanzee came from a FOIA request from DHHS. We will attempt to find out more about Topsey. (2002) "Topsey is alive and well, ......She did experience extensive blood loss from a minor wound of the sex skin, but there was no inattention or malpractice apparent in the records. She has long-standing blood abnormalities that cause more bleeding that would occur in a normal chimpanzee." Topsey was an inmate at Coulston Research Labs and DHHS documents about former Coulston primates 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." Animal cruelty charges were filed due to the death of Ashley, Rex and wilful neglect of Topsey. Read the story here.
