Reply to comment by atomfullerene in Why are specific monkey/ape species suitable for biomedical research while others are not ? by Sleevvin

Just the thought of trying to get a chimp to sit still for a syringe when it could suddenly grab it from your hands, bite you, break the syringe, escape and climb away from your reach, or make use of an unpleasant projectile, makes working with pigs and rats seem a lot more appealing.

You’d be amazed at what you can bribe a monkey to do. One of the research groups we work with lets them watch TV to distract them. They are particularly fond of All My Children.
