Duke University
USDA documents regarding inspections at Duke University
performed on 9/17/02 indicate problems with the Environmental Enrichment
program for primates. One specific owl monkey is noted as exhibiting
symptoms of psychological distress. These symptoms include: self-clasping,
poor haircoat, and depression. These violations follow a previous
inspection (8/21/01) which also listed violations in the area of
environmental enrichment.
This is significant because Duke University routinely
handles over 400 primates per year.
