    US Facing a Monkey Shortage

    Animal testing has been playing a major role in the development of treatments and vaccines for the COVID-19 coronavirus over the past several months. The demand for lab animals has been so overwhelming that the United States is currently facing a monkey shortage because of all the testing. ...

    While experts say there's little that can be done to fix the shortage of monkeys and lab space for COVID-19 research, there's still time to prepare for the next pandemic. Primate centers and other institutions require more funding to expand breeding colonies and build labs, they say.

    Bohm said some research centers have discussed the possibility of an animal reserve available when "some unforeseen emergency comes up."
    You are wrong about police.

    I have often thought of a solution to our immigration problem as being using illegal immigrants as "test monkeys". If they are willing to take one for the team, then they could be admitted as legal immigrants.

    It's like I always say, what the world needs now is more monkey sex.

    Did you know they use monkey porn to get them in the mood to reproduce?
    I'm ditching tPF. This is nothing but a right wing crackpot troll farm.

    No need. That's why we have trumpers. If they agree to be test monkeys they get readmitted to the human race.

    I guess I do now? I don't like monkeys. Except for the little finger monkeys. Those are adorable.
