an enslaved capuchin

Bucky’s Story

Bucky is a capuchin monkey who was ripped from his mother in 2008 and sent to Vivisector Raymond J. Bergeron at the University of Florida to begin his torture regimen. As the records attached below demonstrate, Bucky’s existence is now one of nightmarish deprivation, self-mutilation, misery and pain. Blood is repeatedly found in his cage, he is self-mutilating, vocalizing, and his hair pulling leaves bald spots. He is agitated and aggressive, exhibiting “stereotypical” pacing, biting of bars, tail holding, as well as scratching around his face and eyes. Essentially, it appears Bucky is being driven insane.

Among the injuries documented are a gash on his left big toe, his left inner thigh was excoriated and bleeding was noted, moist wounds were observed on both knees with significant swelling, and his tail was also found lacerated. The most severe injury Bucky sustained thus far was a deep cut on his leg and knee which required surgery, after which he would open his wounds. Another laceration by his left eye is documented as either another self-mutilation or as being sustained from lab equipment, which would indicate neglect.

Our UF whistleblower offers :

“I’m sure all those injuries were due to thrashing about in his cage – exhibiting rage and hostility. These guys are in prison…”

The guardians of UF’s dungeons are clearly aware of Bucky’s deteriorating mental and physical health as they were monitoring his aggressive behavior toward his fellow inmates. He is so frustrated that he needed to be moved away from the primates at which he had redirected his anger. Rather than release him to a sanctuary, they considered giving him Xanax.

In order to remain in compliance with “strict welfare guidelines” as they inhumanely crush this individual’s spirit and shred his mental health, they must provide “enrichment” to address all of the abnormal behaviors documented. They, therefore, offered him only some ice blocks, half a banana, and interaction twice a day. At one point this additional “therapeutic enrichment” was deemed no longer necessary.

And, inasmuch as they continually note that he is not in pain or is characterized as “BAR” (bright, alert, reactive), we must understand that this is when someone entered the room to interact with him and there is documentation stating that he seemed to like human interaction. His wounds and deteriorating mental health, however, speak for themselves regarding the other 99% of his day.

Ultimately they decided that Bucky is suffering from self-injurious behavior.

The foregoing provides a snapshot of this victim’s life in the UF concentration camp through December 31, 2011. We can safely assume that his torment is continuing unabated as Raymond J. Bergeron continues to profit from Bucky’s demise. We are awaiting further documentation that will indicate to what experiments he may currently be subjected as well as pictures of this capuchin and all of the primates imprisoned at UF.

Raymond J. Bergerons Tortures Monkeys at UF for a Living

Kathleen Bergeron is married to Raymond Bergeron

Their daughters are Emily and JenniferKathy & Ray live in a lovely home at:

6220 NW 56TH Lane

Gainesville, FL 32653-3117

Please call Kathy Bergeron at (352) 373-8776 and share your Mother’s Day thoughts with her.

She is married to UF Vivisector Raymond Bergeron. Their lives are built on the extreme misery Ray inflicts on monkeys who are ripped from their own mothers.

While her dear old hubby forcefeeds them poisons, injects them with drugs, drives them insane in tiny cages (some for decades), then murders them, Kathy enjoys frequent manicures and pedicures as well as trips to the local salon to keep her thinning hair groomed.

Although they have stopped answering the phone, Kathy is waiting anxiously for you to leave your Mother’s Day greetings on their answering machine.

Florida law has just been redefined to prohibit me from posting public domain information about vivisectors on NIO. Clearly, this is yet another assault on our Fir.st Amendment freedoms and demands a concerted response from this community. I just received UF’s most recent vet records through December 31, 2011 and will begin publishing in the coming weeks. However, since I am in no position to take on any more legal battles at the moment, I am asking all of my comrades to close ranks and disseminate the info about my vivisectors throughout our extended networks. And, well, if it’s harassment and intimidation they’re worried about, that is not our problem. Perhaps they should find a less violent, bloody, and parasitic profession! -Camille

Animal rights activist Camille Marino of Wildwood founded the group Negotiation is Over and has used its website in a campaign against researchers who she claims experiment on animals. Marino was arrested at a Gainesville protest in February and extradited to Michigan for violating a court order to remove from the website the personal information of a researcher from that state.

Information on the researcher has been taken down, and Marino has returned to Florida as she awaits a June hearing in the case, but information on the UF researchers remains online. UF Police Chief Linda Stump said those researchers have received death threats and other harassment by email and phone calls at all hours.

“I think they certainly take them seriously,” Stump said of the threats. “We’re going to pursue everything we can under the law to seek legal remedies, and I think the new law coming into effect will help individuals that receive this type of harassment.”

The law, signed last week by Gov. Rick Scott and taking effect Oct. 1, expands the stalking statute to include electronically delivered threats. It establishes cyberstalking as a third-degree felony and allows injunctions of up to 10 years to be issued. The changes are directed at domestic violence and exempt protests, but broaden the definition of what is considered a threat.

Marino said she is simply posting publicly available personal information about researchers online and isn’t responsible for threats to them. But she said that any means are justified in stopping research that she equates to “murdering, terrorizing and abusing” animals.

“If you do things that are abominable and reprehensible, then you deserve to at the very least get death threats,” she said.

Marino’s website includes statements about making researchers understand that their work would result in “a lifetime of grief,” including car bombings, injuries and embarrassing home demonstrations. She started focusing on UF researchers in 2010, posting their home and work addresses, phone numbers and email addresses online.

One activist was charged with trespassing at UF in 2011 for posting signs that offer a reward for information about students who experiment on animals. Marino sued UF for denying a public records request on animal research records, winning a ruling that released some documents but failing to obtain addresses of research locations. The ruling has been appealed.

Group members have expanded their campaign against UF to include emailing alumni and a recent protest at a Gainesville church that faculty and students attend. Stump said university police are in contact with federal authorities and local prosecutors about the group, but must protect the safety of university employees as well as the First Amendment rights of protesters.

“It’s a slippery slope,” she said. “Our intention is to never infringe on somebody’s freedom of speech.”

The First Amendment doesn’t protect true threats, but the new Florida law ventures into an area that has seen conflicting court rulings, said Clay Calvert, director of the Marion B. Brechner First Amendment Project at UF. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 2003 case there is no need to prove the intent to carry out a threat in upholding a Virginia cross-burning law.

But Calvert said the lower courts have been split on the issue of whether simply making someone fear harm is protected speech. In the case of the new law, he said, people being targeted must only show a reasonable fear for their safety or others associated with them but nothing having to do with the intent of the person making the threat.

“All that we focus on is going to be the animal researcher and whether it was reasonable for him to fear for his safety and the safety of his family members,” he said.

Marino said it’s not surprising that the law would allow research on animals and also be used to repress her efforts. She said researchers are more responsible for their fears than the rhetoric on the Negotiation is Over website.

“If they’re fearful, perhaps they should change their professions,” she said.

Saturday, April 28

An outraged citizens group emerged in Gainesville over the weekend to launch a surprise offensive against primate torture at UF.

The group had an energized and productive demo at a still-undisclosed location. Many in attendance report that people were “shocked and disgusted” upon learning that UF imprisons, terrorizes, and murders monkeys with their tax dollars.

NIO Florida regrets that we were unable to join our new comrades yesterday, but look forward to strengthening each other’s efforts in the future.

Details of yesterday’s action will be updated as we learn more.

Sunday, April 29

This morning’s 9 a.m. demonstration at the University City Church of Christ — church of the Gators – was an extraordinary success. The congregation is composed of UF alumni and faculty, several of their vivisectors, and community members from the surrounding area.

Parishioners met a spectacle this morning as they arrived to a church being “protected” by four police cruisers. Activists were ejected from the property and a minister named “Mike” retrieved all leaflets that had been distributed. When asked if he thought God approved of monkeys being tortured for money, he replied “God doesn’t approve of many things.” Rather noncommittal for a man of the cloth. We were relegated to the back of the church where all traffic entering or exiting needed to pass through our lines. It was reminiscent of other activist groups who’s tactics NIO hugely admires.

Many who came for the later 10:20 a.m. service took our literature.

We thoroughly enjoyed being flipped off, told to “go fuck yourselves,” and “go get a job” by these devout Christians — they could not contain their anger at our presence. It was apparent that monkey murder at UF was the subject of today’s sermon and every single person in that overflowing church knew exactly why we were there. They support the atrocities were and were very uncomfortable about having to face us. They trickled out all morning to confront us, curse at us, and, our favorite by far, was the old gentleman that Marino smiled and greeted with a “good morning, do you know what UF is doing with your tax money?” He replied with a Nazi salute and a “Zeig Heil!” The exchange descended rather rapidly from there.

Because we felt so welcome and at home with all the monkey-torture-supporting alumni in this congregation, NIO Florida is looking forward to our next action at this location. In fact, several of us are thinking of joining the worshipers in the future.

If you worship at the University City Church of Christ, then you should take a second look at those kneeling to your left and right. They may be vivisectors from the University of Florida or part of their extended team of monkey murderers.

For those who cannot attend our community outreach exercise this Sunday, please feel free to contact the University City Church of Christ and suggest that the vivisectors in their congregation be identified publicly.

I’m certain we all want to hear them explain how God condemns animal torture unless, of course, the atrocities are committed by sadists employed by UF wearing bloody white lab coats: http://www.universitycitychurchofchrist.org/Contact-Us.html

On February 4, the University of Florida orchestrated Camille Marino’s arrest, as well as that of an associate, Lisa Grossman, at a protest in an attempt to shut down the most damaging action NIO Florida had staged, thus silencing dissent and neutralizing the voice of the animals.

The records that Marino won in a lawsuit against UF on December 30 document unspeakable torture perpetrated on monkeys, as well as the unending nightmare of terror, misery, pain, and hopelessness in which these primates are entombed. Exposing their crimes within our community is essential. But it is even more vital that we destroy UF’s reputation and public support by effectively infusing the truth into the local community consciousness.

Therefore, NIO’s official response to UF’s attempt to silence our voice on February 4 is to escalate our tactics: we are going to church with the purveyors of death.

While the vivisectors and faculty gather to worship God in the bosom of their community, NIO will be outside making certain that their community learns the exact nature of the atrocities in graphic detail as their veterinary records document.

SOME OF US ARE WILLING TO GO TO JAIL TO EXPOSE THE TRUTH!

PLEASE STAND WITH US AS WE SHOW THEIR COMMUNITY EXACTLY WHY!

Because of the unusual early hour at which this demo will take place, activists are invited to spend Saturday night with Camille and travel to Gainesville together on Sunday morning. For further info, contact Camille at (352) 396-4132 or camille@negotiationisover.net

Signs and leaflets will provided.

The names of alumni and private benefactors from the University of Florida’s College of Pharmacy have been leaked to NIO Florida. These are the people who support or fund animal experimentation. Each is deeply entrenched in the vivisection complex. Each is directly responsible for the torture the monkeys are forced to endure. Each is deemed an enemy combatant. Each should be made as uncomfortable as possible. And all should know that it is their association with UF that has earned them our attention.

This week’s sampling of benefactors is embedded in the vivisection complex around the world.

Vet records for Monkey 95D (Harry) may be viewed HERE.

On December 2, 1998, ten macaques were shipped to the University of Florida from the Caribbean Primate Research Center at the University of Puerto Rico. One of those monkeys was a 3-year old male called “95-D,” later named “Harry” by his new captors. After enduring 11 years of misery and terror at the hands of sadistic vivisector Dennis Brooks, Harry was murdered in UF’s dungeons on September 1, 2009. His broken body was promptly incinerated.

As with all of UF’s prisoners, Harry’s vet records indicate that he was turned into a drug addict by the sickening frequency with which he was extracted from his cage in terror, forceably restrained, and injected with increasingly-larger doses of ketamine and other drugs used to “knock him down” and render him helpless. Like his sister, Little Girl, his eyes would then be pried open with devices, electrodes woud be attached to his eyeballs, and Brooks would then flood Harry’s little body with unknown amounts of voltage. Harry also had dyes injected into his eyes repeatedly and, of course, eye scans were regularly taken to document the effects of these atrocities.

After more than a decade of living in unimaginable terror and pain, Harry was executed by Brooks with his eyes intact. A source inside UF’s labs explains the murder as follows:

“…he was killed because the study ended. Housing and maintaining animals is expensive, especially monkeys. There was no funding for further research, so Harry needed to be eliminated. They don’t like to release animals to sanctuaries because of the exposure. They don’t want the public to know that they do in any of these studies and a sanctuary may not be as discreet about the sources.

“Harry went immediately to the animal facility’s incineration room where he was later burned with all the other animals that are regularly burned several times a week. It would be nice if they went to introductory biology labs on campus for dissection (at least SOMETHING else could have been gained from their lives) but again, that lifts the veil of secrecy.”
