Episode Details

Oregon Health & Science University is pivoting its primate research center away from sanctuary conversion toward becoming a leader in non-animal research methods, cutting monkey populations by halting breeding and relocating many to sanctuaries—but keeping some research intact where alternatives don’t exist. The plan, still awaiting board approval, has mixed reactions: Governor Kotek applauds the balance of science and ethics, union leaders question genetic diversity loss, and a state rep supports the direction but calls for clearer timelines. The board’s soon-to-come review could shape the future of primate research—and animal welfare—in Oregon.
