	+ ------ + ''2009-04-24 16:58:45'' [[nbsp]] In response to an earlier comment, two kinds of research that have benefited humans greatly that have been done on primates, are the testing of drugs used during pregnancy and birth. Which for obvious reasons are rather hard to ethically test on humans. In addition, most drugs on the market for epilepsy also come from primate research. I am not sure how to link to the scientific papers since if you can't see them without a membership. But if you google these two things you should find a fair amount of abstracts on these research subjects. This type of research can't be done on cell culture since it requires multiple organ systems and other animal models (such as mice) are too physically different from us in terms of birth process and brain function to be good research models. I would be happy to give more info if people are interested. --["Users/Zeeba"]

	+ + I don't think you need to resort to calling people crazy just for protesting (as long as it is carried out legally), nor do I think it is reasonable to wish they would be wiped out. Everyone is entitled to voice their opinion in opposition, so long as they aren't causing any damage, which I realize happened here in the past. Some people do refuse to use pharmaceuticals, and in many cases seek out alternative treatments with great success. Cheers! + --["Users/aprilaries"]

	+ * Guessing this is in reference to the [http://www.uwire.com/Article.aspx?id=4035760 article] (linked from Uwire) in the ["Aggie"]. I believe UCLA isn't the only UC to now refuse to respond to certain requests filed under the Freedom of Information act, due to aforementioned issues (home vandalism (from graffiti, flooding, or fire), car bombings, etc). In full context though, the quote was ""Primates aren't subject to HIV," Budkie said. "You can't study a human disease in a different species."" That's likely a purposefully misleading statement. It is true that they aren't subject to HIV, but SIV is virtually the same thing. There are some differences between HIV and SIV in general, and you can't really cross-infect humans, chimps, and macaque's for example with the same strains (the data on why only came out a few years ago, it's really really interesting). Furthermore, there's lab strains like SHIV that are almost like a combined version, and etc. There's so much to learn. The concept that you can't learn about HIV from SIV is ludicrously incorrect, much less "human" diseases. -["users/Edwins" ES]

The commercial uses footage from other animal research centers to paint a poor image of the Primate Research Center, even though "The animals at the primate center are well cared for, the USDA has made 28 unannounced inspections this year and have encountered no violations of federal law."

	+ + *So you can open the gate. "highly secure"? "first tier of defense"? I think you are making it sound like a military facility because you want people to think badly of it, when in reality it is a facility of benevolent science. If they are cruel to monkeys, then the monkeys should come to a public meeting and complain, and if they don't, oh well. Continue with beautiful mad science! Also, I don't know why "Monkey Farm" would be a critical name; I don't see anything bad about the idea of a monkey farm. I wouldn't say the Primate Center is very controversial either. The Biolab was very controversial, but that was because it wasn't built yet so people felt that they had a chance to complain. Since the Primate Center has been there a long time already, most Davis people accept it. The Biolab was still a really good idea and should have been built. -["NickSchmalenberger"]
