Obtained documents state that some of the monkeys have been given brain damage, have restraint posts screwed into their skulls and electrodes implanted into their brains.
DANIEL LOPEZ: ‘This past December, White Coat Waste Project (WCW) sued the National Institutes of Health (NIH) after it refused to release videos and other materials related to wasteful and bizarre psychological experiments on primates that have cost taxpayers nearly $100 million just since 2007. Now, we know what they were trying to hide… Some of these tests have been continuously funded by taxpayers for more than 40 years.
Never-before-seen videos released to WCW depict distraught monkeys chained by the neck in tiny cages being tormented with rubber spiders and mechanical snakes, objects the primates instinctively fear, just to observe their reactions. NIH “white coats” sucked out parts of these monkeys’ brains or destroyed them with toxic acid to intentionally worsen the primates’ fear.
These videotaped experiments at the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) in Bethesda, Maryland have cost taxpayers over $16 million since 2007, and $1.7 million in 2019 alone. According to the documents, 149 monkeys are slated to be used in this single project. The NIH writes that 60 of these animals will be purchased new and the rest obtained via the “NIH NHP [nonhuman primate] Recycling Program,” meaning instead of being retired from testing, they were transferred from other experiments.
The documents state that some of the transferred monkeys have been given brain damage, have restraint posts screwed into their skulls and electrodes implanted into their brains. Footage of these monkeys has not yet been released to WCW’. SOURCE…
