From the Forest to the Lab: The Life Cycle of a Macaque Used in Medical Research

Imagine this: Born in a forest in Cambodia, a tiny macaque clings to her mother, surrounded by her grandmother and sisters. In their natural habitat, related female monkeys remain together for safety and support. The small macaque has no name and no number, only the warmth of her family and the familiarity of her home. Playing, foraging for food, having fun, and swimming, are favorite pastimes. One morning, screams and gunshots scattered her group. Torn from her mother’s arms, the monkey is thrown inside a tiny crate, stacked with others just like her—frightened and calling out for her family.
