Alamogordo Primate Facility

This record for Rex Chimpanzee was obtained thru a FOIA request to the Department of Health and Human Services. Rex was born September 9, 1986 and died December 30, 2002.

Little is know about Rex Chimpanzee because of poor record keeping at the Coulston Facility where he was for years but this note is made about his death at the APF.

"Rex apparently died of septicemia, which was apparently disseminated from a liver abscess, possibly resulting from one of many liver puch biopsy years ago before he came to the APF."

On October 20, 2003, Thomas Butler notes. "Rex, CA0147, had a history of gradual weight loss and action was taken to rectify this trend. He presented with inappetance, cough and increased rate of breathing. Upon examination he was dehydrated and had a mass in the abdomen. Accepted diagnostic and treatment procedures were performed; however, the chimpanzee died. A necropsy was performed and tissues submitted to the same pathologist. The diagnosis was liver abscesses, septicemia and purulent bronchopneumonia. The experimental history of this animal was extensive with numerous liver punch biopsies having been performed prior to arriving at APF. The septicemia probably resulted from these multiple biopsies. It should be noted that chimpanzees will frequently mask clinical signs. That is, they do not presnet any signs until the disease condition is advanced; thus, making veterinary care difficult when signs are finally detected."

Documents about APF chimpanzees tell us:

"3. Most of the chimpanzees have either been infected with one or more chronic viruses, and even if they were negative controls the chimpanzees have been subjected in the past to many invasive procedures such as punch biopsies of the liver and anesthetic events. These procedures are thought to contribute to long-term prolems in some animals with liver and renal failure, and various blood abnormalities."

Comments like these tell us the extraordinarly sloppy job these facilites do and the government regulating agencies who get rich 'regulating' them. As has been determined long ago, animal experiments are for the money, not for human health.

Animal cruelty charges were filed due to the death of Ashley, Rex and wilful neglect of Topsey. Read the story here.
