Terrible: On May 28th, thirty two nonhuman primates died in a “heating accident” in Sparks (the city next to Reno), and the only news coverage so far is a blog post more than two months after the fact. As far as I am concerned, this should have been a major news story on May 29th.

Interesting (very interesting, I think) that this is an issue to take up with the department of agriculture.

Wow. It's crazy that no one even knows what species they were.

They apparently were macaques (specifically Cynomolgus monkeys). Some more details.
