PETA has learned from whistleblower reports that senior leadership at the violation-plagued Oregon National Primate Research Center is reportedly telling staff to stop documenting animal injuries and other conditions that might run afoul of federal law.
The primate center has a lengthy, years-long rap sheet of animal torment and animal welfare violations, leading to increased public scrutiny and recent calls from Oregonians to close the failed monkey laboratory. Rather than fixing its problems and providing animals with better care, the primate center is allegedly test-driving a strategy of cover-ups and shirking accountability.
According to whistleblowers, key details about serious incidents, including animals suffering gruesome injuries, are deliberately withheld from formal staff reports at leadership’s direction. The insiders also say that staff are being told to report only the bare minimum information and use vague language to close cases quickly and avoid unwanted public attention.
Monkeys escaping from their cages or sustaining traumatic injuries from fights with other monkeys are just a few of the problems that are reportedly going undocumented. Without proper records, sick and injured monkeys suffer from prolonged conditions that go undetected and untreated. Minor injuries can worsen, become infected, and develop into painful pustules and more, without timely veterinary care.
