The 150 page Diaries of Despair report based on the documentation, provides the public with an unprecedented and extensive insight into the reality of vivisection in Britain. Never before has so much secret information about animal experiments entered the public domain. The report was effectively banned for almost two and a half years by an injunction by Imutran and Novartis in late September of 2000. The leaked documentation reveals horrific animal suffering, corrects misleading public presentation of research and exposes government deception. The five part report provides background information on xenotransplantation (transplanting organs of one species into another species); an overview of the leaked documents and the rationale behind transgenic pigs as a potential source of xenografts. It describe the suffering of primates used in the research and the legal framework regulating animal testing. The report documents baboons and cynomolgus monkeys, from (in the case of the baboons) capture in the wild, through transportation half way across the world and their deaths in experiments conducted at HLS.<ref>[http://www.xenodiaries.org/overview.htm Dairies of Despair: The Secret History of pig-to-primate organ transplants], Uncaged Campaigns, accessed January 2010</ref> See also ''Dairies of Despair: Further Reading''. <ref>[http://www.xenodiaries.org/links.htm Dairies of Despair: Further Reading], Uncaged Campaigns, accessed January 2010</ref>
