OHSU Pays Big Fine

The OHSU Primate Center is paying an $11,000 fine, in part, because of the 2009 escape of animals.  Jim Newman with the center says they self-reported incidents which caused the death of a number of animals that year.  All the primates were safely recovered, but another primate suffered a death due to human error. He says the center is re-training personnel and has built a better primate fence.  The USDA is fining the center $11,000.
