In 2004 and 2005, PETA shot footage inside Covance, an animal-testing company in the United States and Europe, that appeared to show monkeys being mistreated in the company's facility in Vienna, Virginia.
According to The Washington Post, PETA said an employee of the group filmed primates there being choked, hit, and denied medical attention when badly injured.
After PETA sent the video and a 253-page complaint to the United States Department of Agriculture, Covance was fined $ 8, 720 for 16 citations, three of which involved lab monkeys ; the other citations involved administrative issues and equipment.
The company said none of the issues were pervasive or endemic, and that they had taken corrective action.
In 2005 Covance initiated a lawsuit charging PETA with fraud, violation of employee contract, and conspiracy to harm the company's business, but did not proceed with it.
