Local Research Facility Accused of Dissecting Still
Living Baboon
Two animal rights groups are
demanding a local research foundation pay for mistakenly dissecting a
baboon while it was still alive. The groups, Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation and Stop Animal
Exploitation Now!, filed a formal complaint against the Southwest
Foundation for Biomedical Research. The problem with this procedure is that they did not make sure the
baboon was actually dead before they began the post-mortem work. So they
were doing these procedures when the animal was still alive," said
Michael Budkie of Stop Animal Exploitation Now! The Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research said the incident
was fully investigated in 2006 by federal USDA inspectors. The
foundation said the baboon was deeply drugged prior to being euthanized
and experienced no pain. http://www.woai.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=da6a46b8-e6b0-4290-9663-66d45f2ec410 Return to Media Coverage |
