"Thimble's mother was used in senseless nicotine experiments conducted
by Eliot Spindel at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) in
****tland, Oregon. Workers gave Thimble her diminutive name because she
was so tiny=97removed from her mother's uterus before she'd reached full-
term. According to Spindel's standard procedure for his diabolical
nicotine experiments, Thimble was to have been subjected to lung tests
after spending a frightening night alone in an incubator. Then she
would have been bled to death and dissected. Due to complications with
her birth, Spindel rejected Thimble for his experiments and she was
allowed to live=97eventually being used to breed more unfortunate
monkeys for Spindel and others at OHSU to kill in experiments."
