Gibbons said the lab received a violation because researchers did not file the proper paperwork for the experiment which would have allowed the monkeys to not be given water. In another violation which SAEN referred to in its report, researchers did not note they had anesthetized animals such as wallabies during operations in their procedural reports, Gibbons said. The use of anesthetics or other...
