The monkeys are used for research into how the brain controls movement and vision. A whistleblower secretly recorded footage and shared it with @lc4a The footage shows the animals pacing constantly in their cages, scratching at metal posts drilled into their skulls, and struggling to swallow in tight neck restraints. Health records from the lab suggest infections, injuries and escapes going back years. Animal welfare experts who reviewed the footage say the monkeys are showing clear signs of pain, anxiety and depression. A formal investigation has started.
