Monkeys Die in Nevada Lab. Calls Grow for Overhaul

Thirty monkeys died in a Sparks Reno Nevada lab when heater overheated their room. Two more were euthanized after near fatal injuries. A prior year death at the same company followed a cage washer incident. Critics say fines are too low to deter violations amid rising animal deaths. Charles River facilities faced multiple violations and penalties under the Animal Welfare Act.
