TRANSCRIPT
This document contains summaries of review, deliberation, and consensus decisions by the NIH Veterinary Panel of animals classified as “Not Recommended for Relocation” to the Federal Sanctuary System operated by Chimp Haven, Inc. by the Attending Veterinarian at the Alamogordo Primate Facility.
As of October 24, 2019, forty-four animals in social groupings remain at the Alamogordo Primate Facility in Alamogordo, New Mexico (https://orip.nih.gov/comparative-medicine/programs/vertebrate-models/chimpanzee-management-reports).
The NIH Veterinary Panel used a review Protocol that is described here (https://dpcpsi.nih.gov/sites/default/files/Protocol_for_Review_Process_by_the_Veterinary_Panel_9-16-2019_508.pdf). They looked at each animal individually, and then looked at the animal as part of its social grouping.
Summaries are presented for each animal by social grouping at the time of the NIH Veterinary Panel’s review.
GROUP 01
Summary of review, deliberation, and consensus decision by the NIH Veterinary Panel of Animals Classified as “Not Recommended for Relocation” to the Federal Sanctuary System Operated by Chimp
Haven, Inc. by the Attending Veterinarian (AV) at the Sending or Receiving Facilities
REVIEW OF ANIMAL RECORDS
Date Initial Review Completed: May 7, 2019
Animal Name: Sherril
Animal’s Date of Birth (if unavailable, estimated age): 07/23/1972 (46 y.o.)
Animal’s Sex (select one of the following options): Male Female
Animal’s Location (select one of the following options):
Alamogordo Primate Facility, Alamogordo, NM
Keeling Center for Comparative Medicine and Research, Bastrop, TX
Southwest National Primate Research Center, San Antonio, TX
Panel Recommendation (select one of the following options):
The Panel agrees with the recommendation of the Attending Veterinarian at the sending or receiving facilities not to relocate the animal; the animal will therefore remain at the sending facility.
The Panel determines that additional information is needed from the Attending Veterinarian at the sending or receiving facilities before making further recommendations or decisions.
Describe in a few sentences below the Panel’s rationale for its recommendation: Sherril is geriatric female chimpanzee with hypertension and poorly regulated insulin-dependent diabetes. She has been placed on “Do Not Resuscitate” status based on the facility Quality of Life program due to the severity of her diabetes. In addition, Sherril resides in a long-standing socially bonded pair with another female chimpanzee, who the panel is also recommending not to move, and, if disrupted, could negatively affect her psychological well-being. The physiological and psychological stressors associated with transportation, quarantine, change in social structure and human care provider could trigger a fatal diabetic crisis.

Animal Name: Pearl
Animal’s Date of Birth (if unavailable, estimated age): 01/01/1971 (48 y.o.)
Animal’s Sex (select one of the following options): Male Female
Animal’s Location (select one of the following options):
Alamogordo Primate Facility, Alamogordo, NM

The Panel determines that additional information is needed from the Attending Veterinarian at the sending or receiving facilities before making further recommendations or decisions.
Describe in a few sentences below the Panel’s rationale for its recommendation: Pearl is a geriatric female chimpanzee with cardiovascular disease (VPCs, systemic hypertension), long-standing diabetes, and behavioral abnormalities. Pearl is not only of advanced age, but she has a significant number of medical conditions, one being diabetes requiring daily oral and injectable medications. Pearl resides in a long-standing socially bonded pair with another female chimpanzee, who the panel is also recommending not to move, and, if disrupted, could negatively affect her psychological well-being. The physiological and psychological stressors associated with transportation, quarantine, change in social structure and human care provider could trigger a fatal cardiac event.

Describe in a few sentences below the Panel’s rationale for its recommendation: Kim is a female chimpanzee with cardiovascular disease (VPCs, systemic hypertension), left renal hydronephrosis, progressive renal failure (metabolic syndrome) and associated anemia which could increase her risk of developing a secondary cerebrovascular insult. In addition, she has severe osteoarthritis with bilateral drawer and crepitus of the right knee, and a uterine mass. Kim resides in a long-standing socially bonded group, which, if disrupted, could negatively affect her psychological well-being. The physiological and psychological stressors associated with transportation, quarantine, change in social structure and human care provider could trigger a fatal cardiovascular event.

Describe in a few sentences below the Panel’s rationale for its recommendation: Richard is a geriatric male chimpanzee with mature cataracts (~90% vision loss, slow moving in den), moderately controlled hypertension and advanced cardiovascular disease (multifocal VPCs, globoid heart). His vision impairment could result in fatal trauma during shipment and/or during introduction into a new social group, as well as impact his ability to adjust to an unfamiliar location. In addition, Richard resides in a 15+ year socially bonded group with two other male chimpanzees which, if disrupted, could negatively affect his psychological well-being. The stress associated with shipping, quarantine, new social group formation, and a new human care provider could trigger a fatal cardiac event.

The physiological and psychological stressors associated with transportation, quarantine, change in social structure and change in human care provider could trigger a fatal cardiac event.

Animal’s Location (select one of the following options):
Alamogordo Primate Facility, Alamogordo, NM

The Panel determines that additional information is needed from the Attending Veterinarian at the sending or receiving facilities before making further recommendations or decisions.
Panel Recommendation (select one of the following options):
The Panel agrees with the recommendation of the Attending Veterinarian at the sending or receiving facilities not to relocate the animal; the animal will therefore remain at the sending facility.
Describe in a few sentences below the Panel’s rationale for its recommendation: Cora is a geriatric female that has a history of aggression towards den mates and infants. She has lumbar spondylosis and advance cardiovascular disease (multifocal VPC, murmur and cardiac enlargement), and muscle wasting/atrophy to her legs. Cora is also HIV + and resides in a long standing socially bonded group which, if disrupted, could negatively affect her psychological well-being. The physiological and psychological stressors associated with shipping, quarantine, new social group formation and new caregiver could trigger an acute fatal cardiac event as well as extreme aggression towards den mates.
