Un singe meurt ébouillanté dans un labo de recherche USA

[Animal 0]

31 janvier 2008- Un singe, qui était destiné à être utilisé dans une recherche expérimentale sur des médicaments a plutôt été ébouillanté vivant au Everett laboratory.

Ce laboratoire de recherche, où se trouve 2,000 primates (en majorité des Macaques), représente des clients comme Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, Eli Lilly et Seattle Genetics.

Des employés qui nettoyaient les cages des singes, ont immergé l'une de ces cages dans une cuve d'eau bouillante (180 degrés) contenant des détergents caustiques et dans laquelle se trouvait une macaque. Selon les enquêteurs, ces singes sont des animaux très bruyants et il est inconçevable que les employées ne l'aient ni vue ni entendue...

Une ex-employée de ce centre de recherche a été mise à pied suite à des dénonciations. Cette femme a été témoin d'employés en train de frapper des singes, d'autres en train de leur vaporiser des acides sur le corps, d'autres encore faisaient exprès de laisser tomber des cages au sol puis les faisaient tournoyer, parce que disaient-ils, cela rendait les singes plus coopératifs avant des interventions ...

À l'aide d'une caméra cachée, un reporter nous montre l'intérieur de ce laboratoire de recherche dans lequel de nombreuses violations se sont déjà produites... En 2005, 19 singes Marmoset sont morts après que des agents très toxiques leurs furent administrés par injection, sans qu'ils ne reçoivent aucun anesthésique pour les soulager de leurs souffrances.

wish I could say that the title of this entry were anything other than a simple statement of fact. But according to shocking allegations made by Joanie McCully, a former animal technician at Shin Nippon Biomedical Laboratories (SNBL), http://www.snblusa.com/index.html the recent boiling of a live female macaque monkey—who was evidently placed inside a giant rack washer inside her wire cage and killed during the 180 degree, 20-minute cycle—was just one in a long list of egregious animal welfare violations at the animal-testing facility.

Ms. McCully, whose employment was terminated shortly after she complained about these apparent violations, told reporters that SNBL’s reaction to her inquiry about the incident with the macaque was to complain about the additional paperwork that it was generating.

"When I inquired about it,” she told a Kiro TV reporter who investigated her allegations, “the reply I got back was 'Oh, dear.' Think of the paperwork. That just upset me to my soul because no animal in there should die because of somebody’s mistake or negligence or lack of compassion. "

Last week, PETA sent Joanie McCully a $1,000 check and a basket of groceries to thank her for standing up for the animals abused in this lab despite the fact that her decision to do so likely led to her firing. As PETA President Ingrid Newkirk puts it, “Ms. McCully’s ‘reward’ for revealing SNBL’s callous and vicious treatment of monkeys was unemployment. But in our book and that of all primates, she’s a hero.”

The USDA is currently investigating this incident, so there’s a chance that the lab will be held accountable for this horrific negligence, but there isn’t much hope that those responsible will be charged with cruelty to animals. As the Seattle television station which has been covering this story pointed out, although causing unnecessary suffering or death to an animal is illegal in the state, there’s an exemption for this on the books in cases where the cruelty is connected with “any properly conducted scientific experiments.”

As horrific as this story is, it would never even have come to light in the first place had it not been for Joanie McCully’s willingness to speak out, and we are extremely grateful to her for her bravery.
