Description: Domitian, one of the Silver Spring monkeys, in a restraint chair in 1981 inside the laboratory of Edward Taub at the Institute of Behavioral Research in Silver Spring, Maryland. PETA contacted the police, who raided the laboratory on September 11, 1981, and charged Taub with 119 counts of animal cruelty, leading to a conviction on six counts, overturned on appeal.

For confirmation of the monkey's name, and that this is one of the Silver Spring monkeys, see Carbone, Larry. What Animal Want: Expertise and Advocacy in Laboratory Animal Welfare Policy. Oxford University Press, 2004, p. 76, figure 4.2. Images of the monkeys became iconic after PETA distributed them widely in the media with the caption, "This is vivisection. Don't let anyone tell you different."
