'These animals are potentially used for studies that deal with chronic diseases.' 9News

"The animal was not going to have his vasectomy in the areas where patients would be traversing or be placed," he said.

"They're all being used to study diseases which afflict significant numbers of the Australian and worldwide population. Animal Justice Party MLC Emma Hurst said the baboons represented the "hidden faces behind animal experimentation in this country". One witness, Michael, said he thought he saw a dog from the fifth floor window of the hospital - until he looked again and realised it was a baboon.

One caller to radio station 2GB said he had seen three baboons in the carpark from his sixth-floor vantage point inside the hospital."I had a coffee about an hour ago, and I thought, what have I put in this coffee?"

Well if they don’t test on animals what are are they going to test on? You? Get over it. They purposely breed these baboons for testing.

Disgusting disgusting they had to escape so we would no the truth not so stupid

Diabètes - caused by obesity, poor diet and inactivity. Hypertension - caused by poor diet and inactivity. Infertility - caused by obesity, inactivity, and endocrine-disrupting plastic-derived toxins. So we want to torture animals who would've been perfectly happy in the wild.

What an outrage

Man that’s sucks poor baboons good old humans at it again imagine being them

Oh well, that makes it alright then. These animals did NOT ask to be taken from the wild, and infected with human disease. On their own, they would have been just fine. But no, 'scientists' had to abuse them. And for what? Throw them away when U'r finished. Do your inhumane tests

ILHAN OMAR, spotted in Sydney!

When I first read a bunch of Baboons where running around Sydney I just assumed NSW parliament is sitting.

Cutting their shoulder tendons and then killing them to see how they heal? Transplanting them with pig organs? Testing the effects of radio active material on them? I’m no doctor, but I can safely say the effect of radio active material would be well... fucked

Chronic diseases caused by shit diets, no exercise, not enough fibre fruit and vegetables, too much grog, too much salt?

horrible this is still going on in this century.

They probably endure unimaginable horrors. rspca

I'm really surprised They do this in Aus of all countries

It made me sick watching the moronic 9 news reader describe the two females as the other baboon's 'wives' and having a giggle. They're animals being tortured in lab testing. It's a pity the presenter isn't substituted.

A faster Newcastle-Gosford-Sydney-Wollongong train would be better. Mattonews ABarrMLA The best way to get this off the ground would be to make travel allowances for MPs dependent on use of rail.
