Watchdog Group Asks USDA For Investigation Into Treatment Of Monkeys At Pitt
From Pittsburgh.CBSLocal.com, October 29, 2019
A watchdog group is asking for an investigation into the treatment of
monkeys at the University of Pittsburgh.
The group Stop Animal Exploitation Now, or SAEN, filed an official complaint
with the USDA.
Back in August, two monkeys were strangled by their chain collars when they
became entangled.
One of the animals reportedly died and the other suffered bruising.
In another incident, a marmoset was found with a hammock clip piercing its
lower jaw. That animal had to be euthanized.
The animal group also says Pitt reported one marmoset escaped, and after an
injury, it had to have two fingers amputated.
The watchdog group says the reports show an “ongoing pattern of negligence
and carelessness.”
A Pitt spokesperson told the Trib that the university is committed to the
highest standards of care for its research animals and says it promptly
reported the incidents.
