All 100 lab monkeys accounted for after several escape Pennsylvania highway crash

DANVILLE, Pa. — The last of the escaped monkeys from the crash of a truck towing a trailer load of 100 of the animals was accounted for by late Saturday, a day after the pickup collided with a dump truck on a Pennsylvania highway, authorities said.

The email did not elaborate on why the three were euthanized or how all came to be accounted for. But Nordlund said those euthanized were done so humanely according to American Veterinary Medical Association guidelines. The location of the quarantine facility and the type of research for which the monkeys were apparently destined weren’t clear, but cynomolgus monkeys are often used in medical studies. A 2015 paper posted on the website of the National Center for Biotechnology Information referred to them as the most widely used primate in preclinical toxicology studies.

A crash witness, Michelle Fallon, told the Press Enterprise newspaper of Bloomsburg that she spoke with the pickup driver and a passenger after the crash. The driver appeared to be disoriented, and the passenger thought he might have injured his legs, she said.

Religious Hindus r fuming. 'How dare they lock up & experiment with Hanuman, our monkey God?' I support these Hindus 100%. The horror & torture these lab monkeys experience is worse than killing cows for food. Where r the vegetarians, PETA pple & the monkey vigilantes of India?

Well, THAT was bananas!
