Abstract
A pole-housing device for nonhuman primates, especially monkeys, comprising a cage having poles and walls mounted in the perimeter of the device, and having an "H"-shaped squeeze-back means and a means for rapid removal of a nonhuman primate, wherein a nonhuman primate may be removed from the device by connecting the tether that is worn by the nonhuman primate to a tether-holder, disconnecting the tether from the sliding ring on the pole and opening an exit door adjacent to the pole, to remove the nonhuman primate, and wherein a nonhuman primate may be squeezed against the front or rear wall of the device and held there by pulling the squeeze-back, which is positioned between poles on opposite walls, against the front or rear wall.
