After the public learned last winter that the National Institutes of Health was transferring old chimpanzees back into traumatic bioinvasive research, the NIH delayed the transfers. They said they would ask for recommendations from a special panel of experts. But months before that panel was scheduled to issue their report, NIH quietly demonstrated its contempt for animal welfare advocates. In September, NIH agreed to a $19 million grant program to put the chimps back on the laboratory slab.
The panel's recommendations will be issued Dec 15, at 11:00 am. But NIH has already made up its mind and approved the transfer.
