brestugo 12/22/20 9:53:42 PM #1:	https://futurism.com/the-byte/nasa-killed-monkeys-investigation-reveals NASA euthanized all 27 primates at the agencys Ames research center in California in February 2019, The Guardian reports, causing outrage among animal welfare groups. According to the newspaper, the culling eliminated all the agencys monkeys. According to animal rights advocates, the monkeys could have easily gone to sanctuaries. John Gluck, an expert in animal ethics at the University of New Mexico, told the Guardian that the animals were apparently not considered worthy of a chance at a sanctuary life. Not even a try? Disposal instead of the expression of simple decency. Shame on those responsible. *No Sanctuary* 21 of the monkeys reportedly had Parkinsons, according to documents obtained by the newspaper. US House representative Kathleen Rice (D-NY) is pushing NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine for an explanation. I look forward to an explanation from administrator Bridenstine on why these animals were forced to waste away in captivity and be euthanized rather than live out their lives in a sanctuary, Rice told The Guardian. *Lease On Life* The monkeys were held by drug research company LifeSource BioMedical, which had leased space at Ames from NASA. The animals were reportedly not part of any research. According to the companys CEO Stephanie Solis, LifeSource BioMedical agreed to accept the animals, acting as a sanctuary and providing all care at our own cost, until their advanced age and declining health resulted in a decision to humanely euthanize to avoid a poor quality of life. --- "If you know the why, you can live any how." - Nietzsche <cite>brestugo posted [p:948658704] in Report: Al...

treewojima 12/22/20 10:02:57 PM #6:	But the monkeys euthanized last year werent used in any daring space missions or even for research instead they were housed at the Ames facility in a joint care arrangement between Nasa and LifeSource BioMedical, a separate drug research entity which leases space at the center and housed the primates. Stephanie Solis, the chief executive of LifeSource BioMedical, said the primates were given to the laboratory years ago after a sanctuary could not be found for them due to their age and poor health. We agreed to accept the animals, acting as a sanctuary and providing all care at our own cost, until their advanced age and declining health resulted in a decision to humanely euthanize to avoid a poor quality of life, she said. How much responsibility does this LifeSource BioMedical company bear? Sounds on the face like they were "leased" to them from NASA. <cite>treewojima posted [p:948659024] in Report: Al...
