This artificial colony on the
space station is incredibly
lacking compared to the

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.

the Colonial museum to hear

excitement about their
presentations. They were just
bubbling over with excitement
and pride.
