Harvard Research Facility Cited After Animal’s Death

Federal inspectors have issued five citations against a Harvard University animal-research facility for a series of violations of rules requiring humane conditions, The Boston Globe reported. The violations at the New England Primate Research Center, a Harvard Medical School facility in Southborough, Mass., include an overdose of anesthesia in February that led to the death of a nonhuman primate, the newspaper reported.

    “the death of a nonhuman primate”…..as opposed to a human primate?

    So a Nevada company (mentioned in the Globe article) through its atrocious dereliction kills a research primate and pays a $4,500 fine. Will Harvard, in whose lab two primates have been killed due to human malfeasance in separate incidents this year, now be assessed $9,000? I doubt that that kind of remediative “justice” will put the world’s richest university out of business.

    Yes. Humans are primates so you can have human or non-human primates.
