Madison, Wis. – Dane County Pass judgement on Nia Trammell has declined to rethink her refusal to nominate a unique prosecutor, regardless of discovering possible motive to imagine that group of workers at the College of Wisconsin–Madison’s Wisconsin Nationwide Primate Analysis Heart (WNPRC) dedicated cruelty to animals of their mistreatment of Cornelius and Princess, two monkeys who have been saved caged in solitary confinement in stipulations of utmost privation for years on the WNPRC.
In June 2022, PETA filed a petition for a discovering of possible motive on behalf of Cornelius and Princess following an undercover investigation into the WNPRC presenting overwhelming proof of cruelty that the pass judgement on decided “shocks the sense of right and wrong and is very alarming.” But the pass judgement on has doubled down on her determination to offer the WNPRC a unfastened cross, and PETA predicts dire penalties for animals locked up in its bleak laboratories.

Within the months that adopted PETA’s lawsuit submitting, WNPRC experimenters killed Princess and her unborn child.
“If depriving delicate and social animals of the whole thing that makes their lives value dwelling isn’t regarded as cruelty within the state of Wisconsin, what’s?” says PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo. “PETA vows to proceed preventing for monkeys imprisoned on the WNPRC and somewhere else till laboratory experimentation is extinct.”
Cornelius was once born on the WNPRC in 2010. Identified to experimenters simplest as #r10033, he was once separated from his mom as an toddler and was once inflamed by means of experimenters with the dengue virus when he was once 4 years previous. As a child, he suffered from full-body rashes. As a juvenile, he was once plagued with chronic diarrhea, a commonplace signal of tension in caged monkeys. Later, he was once used as a breeder, subjected to repeated electro-ejaculation procedures, and warehoused in solitary confinement for years, including mental struggling to his current torment.
Princess—referred to as #rh2519—was once many times bred, and her small children have been taken away for experiments. She tore out just about all her physique hair, a type of self-mutilation indicative of utmost mental misery. In November 2021, she was once impregnated and utilized in an experiment wherein each she and her fetus have been killed.
After greater than 60 years, 16,000 lifeless monkeys, and just about $700 million in taxpayer finances, the WNPRC has produced 0 remedies for human sicknesses. PETA asks that UW-Madison free up Cornelius to a credible sanctuary.
