Awaiting Sanctuary
Fred was born in the lab in 1993 and shipped across the country for research when he was 18 months old, including having injections of hepatitis directly into his liver with no records of medication given for pain relief. His medical records include repeated notes of Fred screaming and committing self-injury, including biting himself and pulling his hair out. This behavior is associated with post-traumatic stress disorder in captive chimpanzees. Fred is currently held at Texas Biomedical Research Institute.
