Monkey Business(MIKEY)

Spending by the NIH includes $33 million to a firm which runs “Monkey Island,” a colony of around 3,000 primates sent to research labs. Additionally, NIH grants totaling $3.7 million funded a study on monkeys and gambling. Part of another $12 million went to the University of Mississippi to test monkeys on methamphetamine and a Florida lab received $477,000 to help fund research into “transgender” monkeys — males injected with female hormones.
