from
Wikipedia
In 2004, German journalist Friedrich Mülln shot undercover footage of staff in Covance, Münster, Europe's largest primate-testing center, making monkeys dance in time to blaring pop music, handling them roughly, and screaming at them.
The monkeys were kept isolated in small wire cages with little or no natural light, no environmental enrichment, and high noise levels from staff shouting and playing the radio ( video ).
Another primatologist, Stephen Brend, told BUAV that using monkeys in such a stressed state is bad science, and trying to extrapolate useful data in such circumstances is what he called an untenable proposition.
According to The Washington Post, PETA said an employee of the group filmed primates being choked, hit, and denied medical attention when badly injured.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture fined Covance $ 8, 720 for 16 citations, three of which involved lab monkeys ; the other citations involved administrative issues and equipment.
