美国逃跑的实验室猴子
当地时间21日下午,美国宾夕法尼亚州一辆运送100只猴子前往实验室的卡车发生交通事故,4只猴子逃跑,其中3只被迅速追回,还有1只下落不明。
22日晚,警方宣布,所有逃跑的猴子已被找到。
外媒报道称,实验室的位置和猴子要接受何种类型的研究,官方都没有公布,但猕猴经常用于医学研究。
The location of the lab and the type of research for which the monkeys were destined weren't clear, but cynomolgus monkeys are often used in medical studies.
Kristen Nordlund, a spokesperson with the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an email Saturday evening that three were dead after being euthanized.
多家媒体指出,为何要安乐死,这个重要的问题,克里斯塔·诺德伦德并没有给出解释。
A paper posted on the website of the National Center for Biotechnology Information refers to them as the most widely used primate in preclinical toxicology studies.
