Recommendations

Immediately suspend all experiments involving squirrel monkeys, marmosets, or individually housed macaque monkeys at Harvard/NENPRC.

Make health care records and experimental protocols for all primates at NENPRC/Harvard available for evaluation. Give access to NENPRC facilities to media representatives and SAEN staff.

Independently evaluate the care of all primates at NENPRC from both veterinary and psychological viewpoints.

Review all drug addiction projects at NENPRC/Harvard concerning unnecessary duplication. Examine these projects versus the 76 currently funded addiction experimentation projects in primates utilizing cocaine or heroin. Terminate unnecessarily duplicative projects.

Institute congressional investigative hearings to examine conditions within the eight laboratories which constitute the Primate Research Center System.

Rats, mice, birds, amphibians and other animals have been excluded from coverage by the Animal Welfare Act. Therefore research facility reports do not include these animals. As a result of this situation, a blank report, or one with few animals listed, does not mean that a facility has not performed experiments on non-reportable animals. A blank form does mean that the facility in question has not used covered animals (primates, dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, pigs, sheep, goats, etc.). Rats and mice alone are believed to comprise over 90% of the animals used in experimentation. Therefore the majority of animals used at research facilities are not even counted.
