Reports of a Macaque monkey torture-murder and subsequent cover-up have led the Humane Society of the United States to call for the prosecution of the Simian slayers.
According to the Seattle Times and an investigation by KIRO News, a little female Macaque lab monkey was "boiled" alive after a cleaning crew at the Everett, Washington Japanese owned SNBL USA company put the little primate through a "steaming rack washer" with water temps at 180 or higher degrees.

The Humane Society has asked Snohomish County Prosecutor Janice Ellis to "actively pursue an animal cruelty case" against the perpetrators of the crime. SNBL responded to the KIRO investigation calling the little monkey's death an "unfortunate accident" and the first "accidental" death of a monkey since SNBL's inception 8 years ago.
