NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A Louisiana university has agreed to pay $100,000 to settle six complaints about its primate lab. The settlement says the University of Louisiana at Lafayette does not admit any wrongdoing at its New Iberia Research Center.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture complaint in March said lab workers broke one monkey’s arm but didn’t check it for five days, and another monkey died from a brain hemorrhage after injuring its hand between its cage and another structure.
