Show Notes
Alpha Genesis, a primate research company in South Carolina, unveiled an expansion of its retirement program for nonhuman primates, aiming to provide lifelong care in their own facilities amidst federal funding cuts forcing some research centers to downsize aging monkey colonies. However, animal rights advocates like PETA criticize the move due to the companys past welfare issues, including escapes and a heater failure that led to the suffocation of twenty-two monkeys. The announcement comes as Representative Nancy Maces Violets Law seeks to end euthanasia of healthy research animals and prioritize rehoming to sanctuaries or rescues. Alpha Genesis facilities have passed recent inspections despite past controversies and is now discussing transfer plans with research institutions and officials.
