Extractions: Regarding Health Risks in the Handling and Care of Non-Human Primates Compiled and written by: Carol Asvestas, Michelle Reininger and Mary Reininger Protective Clothing Area of Applicability: All facilities caring for non-human primates Purpose To limit the potential of disease transmission between human and non-human primates. General Information Humans and non-human primates are susceptible to many of the same infectious agents. Some agents that cause minimal or no disease in non-human primates can produce severe, even fatal disease in humans and vice-versa. Disease agents can be transmitted between humans and non-human primates by a variety of modes including but not necessarily limited to bites, scratches, respiratory droplets, contact with blood, urine, feces, other bodily fluids or tissues, or contaminated equipment. Procedure Outer Clothing Coveralls, animal care uniforms, or lab coats. Outer clothing must be long-sleeved. Coverall and uniforms must be removed or covered by a clean lab coat before leaving restricted non-human primate holding areas.

Extractions: Retiring Research Primates: A Simple Way to Success Carol Asvestas, Michelle Reininger and Mary Reininger Finding a Credible Sanctuary Several major research facilities have already been successful in placing retired research primates in credible sanctuaries. The groundwork has already been covered. Facilities wishing to retire primates should contact directors of other facilities to seek advice as to where they have already placed animals. Documents pertaining to sanctuary credibility and references are usually on file and directors and staff members normally have already made at least one site visit to the sanctuary in question. It is advisable to invite prospective sanctuary directors and their care staff to meet with directors and care staff of the research facility. This creates a good long term working relationship, allowing for continual communications between the two parties concerned. This also allows observation of the non-human primates that are to be retired. It is just as important for directors and care staff of the research facility to visit the prospective sanctuary, regardless of visits made by other facility

http://www.episcopalchurch.org/ens/99-018.html

Extractions: (ENS) Bishops emerged from a six-day closed meeting at a diocesan retreat center in Texas expressing a determination to help the church deal more constructively with divisive issues that threaten to split the church. "We are not backing off the issues-but we are exploring different ways to deal with the issues," said Bishop Catherine Roskam of New York in an open conversation with the press at the end of the March 4-9 meeting at Camp Allen near Houston. She said that the conversation among the 140 bishops had "deepened" enough so that they were able to deal with their differences "in an atmosphere of mutual trust." Although last summer's Lambeth Conference of 750 bishops of the Anglican Communion was not on the agenda, the confrontation over the issue of homosexuality at the conference was clearly behind the effort to find a better way to deal with issues, according to several bishops.

http://www.episcopalchurch.org/ens/99-005.html

Extractions: The petition was sent in the name of the Association of Anglican Congregations on Mission (AACM), a group of parishes that have left the Episcopal Church. It asks the orthodox bishops of the Anglican Communion for "protection of orthodox Anglicans in the United States until the Episcopal Church of the United States of America is reformed or replaced as a province of the Communion." The petition also asks the primates of the Anglican Communion for "emergency intervention" to protect orthodox believers. AACM's petition to the primates includes almost 200 pages that "recounts the current state of the Episcopal Church and its response to and decisions made" since last summer's Lambeth Conference of Anglican bishops. "It reports with detailed appendix, ECUSA's continued violation of Lambeth resolutions and open rejection of them via specific actions in conflict," including resolutions passed by dioceses. The petition states that the "reformation" of the Episcopal Church must include conformity with resolutions on human sexuality, the authority of Scripture, the authority of primates to intervene and limits of diversity. And it demands that "immediate action must be taken with respect to resolutions and canons to be adopted at the 2000 General Convention."

Extractions: Should monkeys be kept as pets? There is something irresistible about an infant monkey or ape - they appear so sweet and helpless, and seem so much like a human infant in many ways. However, those sweet babies grow up into difficult adults, and as a general rule adult monkeys do not make good companions. Their intelligence makes them special, but ultimately makes them a very challenging companion. Commitment

Primates For Primates
Some of the intended benefits for the primates, the general community, the zoovisitingpublic, primate exhibitors and primate welfarists are presented.
http://www.lisp.com.au/~primate/matthew.htm

Extractions: This paper examines the proposed new standards for exhibiting primates at zoos and animal parks in New South Wales. It examines why the standards have been developed and looks at some interesting welfare issues which the standards attempt to address. Some of the intended benefits for the primates, the general community, the zoo-visiting public, primate exhibitors and primate welfarists are presented. Some of the difficulties encountered in preparing the standards have revealed deficiencies in published information and in the availability of information about a variety of factors that effect the welfare of primates kept for display. Examples are presented to encourage improvement in understanding of these factors. The fact that non-human primates resemble humans in many ways has contributed greatly to their popularity as exhibit animals in zoos and animal parks. People readily empathise with primates and can become deeply concerned about their welfare. There is a growing appreciation that primates are one of the more highly developed groups of animals, having special psychological and social needs. The more advanced mental characteristics of this group arguably give its members a greater potential to suffer if their needs are not met. Consequently there is considerable public interest in the welfare of exhibited primates.

http://www.shoarns.com/LemurNotes.html

Extractions: Lemurs - A Little Background Lemurs are, typically, small furry creatures with long tails and big eyes Lemurs are primates and the ancient relatives of the other three primates - Monkeys, Great Apes and Humans. The evolutionary path of primates is believed to have started out when forward facing eyes evolved allowing stereoscopic vision and claws evolved becoming more hand-like allowing clasping - both giving advantages when climbing. The name, lemur, is derived from the Latin word, lemures, which means "ghost". Lemurs are often nocturnal animals, and travel through the forests at dusk and dawn in search mainly of fruits, leaves and tree bark. Lemurs seen in captivity have learnt that they are safe in their enclosures and can be active during daytime. Lemurs live on Madagascar or on the nearby Comoro Islands both off the East coast of Africa. Madagascar is the worlds fourth largest island. Its area is four times that of England and Wales. 50 million years ago Madagascar and Africa were joined. Monkeys apes and humans had not yet appeared on the Tertiary scene but lemurs had already evolved - the fossil records showing them existing in England ,France and North America - they were a relatively successful evolutionary group up to recent times. Some 20 million years ago Madagascar separated from Africa, isolating Madagascar, leaving more highly developed primates to evolve elsewhere.
