Claudia Westfall- animal testing on primates. Are they treated wrongly? by claudia westfall https://padlet.com/claudia_westfal/llhsccrlsin4 125,000 primates are imprisoned in laboratories, where the are abused & killed in invasive, painful, and terrifying experiments. en-us 2014-05-23 15:34:04 UTC 2014-05-29 15:45:01 UTC hello@padlet.com http://d262le4z25sx36.cloudfront.net/portraits/monkey.jpg While it is known that nonhuman primates are sensitive, intelligent  beings who share many important biological and psychological characteristics with human, those very attributes, unfortunately, make them prime targets for experimenters, who treat them as if they were disposable pieces of laboratory equipment. claudia_westfal https://padlet.com/claudia_westfal/llhsccrlsin4/wish/28680107 2014-05-23 15:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/claudia_westfal/llhsccrlsin4/wish/28680107 Bred in government or commercial facilities, born in laboratories or captured in the wild.( China, Cambodia, Islands of Mauritius) claudia_westfal https://padlet.com/claudia_westfal/llhsccrlsin4/wish/28835112 2014-05-27 15:08:18 UTC https://padlet.com/claudia_westfal/llhsccrlsin4/wish/28835112 Using non human primates is that they can be quite diificult to handle. Restraints are commonally required, but this can cause the animal to experience stress and fear; this can sway the results. They will use chemical restraints or be trained to accept the restraints.  claudia_westfal https://padlet.com/claudia_westfal/llhsccrlsin4/wish/28988786 2014-05-29 15:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/claudia_westfal/llhsccrlsin4/wish/28988786 Inaccurate results can cause the experiments to have to be run again. It also means that animals were essentially used in an experiment that was void, rendering their lives useless in terms of any suffering or death being in vain. claudia_westfal https://padlet.com/claudia_westfal/llhsccrlsin4/wish/28988995 2014-05-29 15:13:28 UTC https://padlet.com/claudia_westfal/llhsccrlsin4/wish/28988995 Primates also used for studies investagating the biology  of human body and treatment of disease such as AIDS.

After the isolation, monkeys were hostile, withdrawn, and unsociable claudia_westfal https://padlet.com/claudia_westfal/llhsccrlsin4/wish/28990041 2014-05-29 15:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/claudia_westfal/llhsccrlsin4/wish/28990041 claudia_westfal https://padlet.com/claudia_westfal/llhsccrlsin4/wish/28990330 Marmosets,Baboons,Rhesus monkey,Cynomolgus monkeys,Squirrel monkeys,Owl monkey,Spider monkeys,Chimpanzees are used
