In addition it noted "severe hyperkeratosis [a growth of skin tissue] on tail" and "grade 2 cardiac murmur" and "T-L kyphosis [abnormal shape of spine]"

On August 15, 2001, MCY 24540 was shipped to University of Utah.

August 22, 2001: U of U records note receiving her.

Judging from the signatures on the daily care log, she appears to have switched carepersons on February 11, 2002.

February 11, 2002: "Low appetite, shaking, health report filed." The health report states: "Ketamine 30 mg IM. PE ulcerated tongue, abdominal palpation - unable to distinguish kidneys. Blood taken for CBC. Animal was immobilized not to surgerical [sic] plane of anesthesia."

February 12, 2002: "Sluggish, Not Very active, still shaking."

February 13, 2002: Daily Care log: "Still shaking, not very active." A seperate health status report on this date notes: "Blood work received - CBC and CP is normal - monkey received 1cc of cetazolin. Spoke w/ Jack Taylor [the director of U of U's vivarium] about the case - treatment to be discontinued - possible Herpes infection."

February 14, 2002: "Moved due to barking dogs A little more active, seems tired though." Health status report says something similar on this day: "Monkeys moved from the room next to two dogs back to their original room."

February 15, 2002: "eating peanuts." Health status report on this day says "Animal is maintaning hydration, but leaving food. Continue to offer treats and watch.

February 25, 2002: "not eating, but drinking."

February 26, 2002: "Slow moving, no change in eating, but still drinking."

March 1, 2002: "Ate her apples but nothing else."

On March 4, 2002, she switched carepersons again. The rest of the entries in the daily care log are now just a checked box that says "no abnormalities
observed."

Thank you to Jeremy Beckham for making MCY 24540's life story a part of the public record of government sanctioned and funded atrocities known as primate vivisection.

Speak out. Your silence signals your acceptance.
