EXCLUSIVE: Ex-Employees Claim 'Horrific' Treatment of Primates at Lab

Hidden-Camera Investigation Goes Behind Closed Doors at New Iberia Research Center

Tucked into a rural section of Louisiana, a few miles from Lafayette, an unexpected compound springs from the landscape. It is the nation's largest primate testing lab. The New Iberia Research Center, part of the University of Louisiana, houses more than 6,000 primates and one of the largest captive populations of chimpanzees in the world.

"Nightline" obtained the results of a nine-month undercover investigation by the Humane Society of the United States. A Humane Society investigator took a hidden camera inside the New Iberia Research Center for most of 2008. The video shows what the Society says is the way monkeys and great apes are treated behind closed doors.

Viewer discretion has been advised.

1. Horrible, but good to see it receiving MSM attention.

The description of the abuse in this report was heartbreaking.

I continue to be amazed at the medieval torture we inflict upon our closest genetic relatives in the name of "Science"...even when modern science has far more efficient, effective, and humane ways to test toxicity, etc.

Vivisection is SO 1800s. :thumbsdown:
