Beautiful... I wish they would stop using these beautiful creatures for medical testings
I do wonder though... after all this testing and god knows what all they have been "given", could there be a risk of spreading new diseases?

That is a very good question! I never give any money to medical researches as I am against testing on animals. It's sad that the chimps never seen the sunlight or been allowed to act like a chimp most of their life.

(I confess to not opening the link)
The saddest part is that so many life saving human drugs have been developed via these types of tests, even though the tests sicken us to the Nth degree. It's a tug of war with personal ethics on this one...though as a pet lover I am against animal testing, that's for sure. I'm sure though, if this is the only solution....that it can be done humanely. Primates should see the sky and grass daily... Wish we lived in a much better world sometimes.

I know its a bit of a dilemma, hard to justify but also hard not to. But, then again, there is so many diseases that many years ago were non-existent until all these random testing began. the world sometimes seems too complicated for me

So uplifting to see the chimps now getting to enjoy their twilight years....as for medical testing that is a real two headed monster...I submit they test on Pediphiles,
