KIRO7.com, December 28, 2018
The federal government has cited
the University of Washington after another research monkey died at its lab
in April.
The Seattle Times reports the pigtail macaque monkey is the third monkey to
die at the facility since February 2016.
The United States Department of Agriculture said in the latest incident, the
monkey was accidentally strangled by an improperly installed chain that it
pulled through the bars of its cage.
The university says it reports all incidents and takes immediate action to
prevent them from reoccurring.
