Residents of Bainbridge, Georgia, are opposing plans for a monkey-breeding facility in the area. Safer Human Medicine, a company looking to build a $396 million complex, aims to house up to 30,000 long-tailed macaques for sale to universities and pharmaceutical companies involved in medical research. Despite concerns expressed by residents and animal-rights group PETA, the local council has not directly addressed the opposition. The company behind the project argues that a domestic source of monkeys would reduce dependence on imports and is important for drug testing and research purposes. However, opponents fear the potential dangers associated with the facility, including the escape of monkeys and the transmission of diseases. The fate of the project remains uncertain as the community evaluates the risks and benefits involved in using animals for scientific purposes.
