QUAKERTOWN, Pa. -- Bucks County residents plan to question a proposal to build a kennel to house up to 500 research monkeys in Richland Township.
A township planning commission meeting is scheduled Thursday night.
The monkeys would be shipped from a supply company in Beijing, China, to the kennel, where they would be kept while awaiting shipment to research laboratories.
Michael Hsu's development application says the monkeys would be tested for tuberculosis, parasites and other diseases in hopes of finding cures for illnesses such as HIV and Alzheimer's disease.
Hsu says he will address the residents' concerns about the plan at the meeting tonight.
