He was a young baboon. Two days after entering a Columbia University laboratory, he was dead.
His death illustrates how the animal research oversight system does not exist to eliminate harm to animals. Rather, it expects harm and exists to manage it.

The bizarre stunt was marketed as science.
Today, the animal use industry's playbook remains: riseforanimals.org/news/elm-far...
