MADISON, Wis. (AP) - A study at the University of Wisconsin led to an unusual number of deaths and illnesses of rhesus monkeys in 2001 and 2002, internal school records show.
The UW memos were released Monday by the Primate Freedom Project, a group critical of animal research, which obtained them through an open records request.
The records show one monkey died while an attendant went to lunch during an experiment, and others were given drugs that had not been approved by a review committee at UW-Madison's National Primate Research Center.
