Irradiated Monkey’s Suffering to End; Experiment Stopped at the University of Washington

The University of Washington (UW) decided to euthanize a monkey who, weeks after being irradiated nearly to death by UW experimenter Fritzie Arce-McShane, lost all quality of life. Arce-McShane willfully and repeatedly violated her approved protocol and deceived veterinary staff. This decision follows PETA’s request to the university to stop the study. The other six monkeys in her laboratory are safe from her for now, as her use of monkeys is currently halted, but she can’t be trusted and should be barred permanently from having any contact with animals.
