I Had Bought Two Male Chimps From A Primate Colony In Holland. They Lived Next To Each Other In Separate Cages For Several Months Before I Used One As A [heart] Donor. When We Put Him To Sleep In His Cage In Preparation For The Operation, He Chattered And Cried Incessantly. We Attached No Significance To This, But It Must Have Made A Great Impression On His Companion, For When We Removed The Body To The Operating Room, The Other Chimp Wept Bitterly And Was Inconsolable For Days. The Incident Made A Deep Impression On Me. I Vowed Never Again To Experiment With Such Sensitive Creatures.
