University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Address: 1100 Bioinformatics building, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 Phone: (919)966-3111 Number of monkeys reported in 2007: 8 Click to show vivisectors at this lab.
PETA has conducted undercover investigations at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. These investigations showed patterns of neglect and cruelty that resulted in great suffering for mice and rats at UNC.
In addition, UNC experiments on primates. Below you can find two protocols from former or current UNC primate vivisectors, and reports and records related to their handful of squirrel monkeys held captive at their laboratory. The records are indicative of problems seen at labs around the country - depression in monkeys, wounds due to the confinement of an aggressive animal with a weaker animal, and ever-failing attempts by staff at the lab to rid the monkeys of diarrhea and their mental illness.
Mark Tommerdahl's experiment (which ended in 2005, it appears; grant 5R01NS043375) can be found here (pdf).
Barry Whitsel's experiment protocol can be found here (pdf).
Vet records, daiiy care logs, shipment/sale records, and other reports for individual monkeys can be found here (pdf).
