Last year, Neuralink claimed monkeys with the brain chip implants can play Pong -- a computer game - using just their minds.

More research labs are retiring primates to sanctuaries like Primates Inc., a 17-acre rural compound in central Wisconsin, where they can live their remaining years, according to t

The document says the experiments were carried out pursuant to contractual agreements between UC Davis and Neuralink. In the letter, which spans more than 700 pages, the Physicians Committee said records it obtained for the 23 monkeys used in the experiments reflect a"pattern of extreme suffering and staff negligence.

CNN has contacted UC Davis and the Board of Regents for comment. In a statement to KCRA 3, UC Davis spokesperson Andy Fell said:"The research protocols were thoroughly reviewed and approved by the campus's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee ." Fell added:"The work was conducted by Neuralink researchers in facilities at the California National Primate Research Center at UC Davis.

In the lawsuit, the committee alleges that staff at the university"removed pieces of the skulls of rhesus macaque monkeys and inserted electrodes into the animals' brains."

OK, as someone who often has his own outrageous ideas for designs, inventions and concepts, I have been a long time admirer and supporter of Elon Musk. But this stuff sort of scares me and raises a red flag.

Wow, they’ve really been going after Elon musk since he started straying from the Democrat plantation. The Democrats and their media accomplices are pure evil when you don’t obey.

Musk must be total sewer sludge to allow animal testing.

Why would you want your brain to connect with computers? Make it make sense.

Why don't you cover SDS studies for 3M, Rust-Oleum or Clorox. Big corp trying to shit on Elon. LMFAO

It wasn’t animal cruelty to test putting a chip in an animals brain and then it died… Great put the next one in your brain!!

Trillionaires will do the darnedest things.

'Extreme suffering and staff negligence,' according to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

Mind control …

He exhibits little to no compassion so why wouldn't he treat the monkeys cruel?

Really? Release all the data from the study. I'll decide if there was cruelty. Next time, he can test it on himself.
