Thank you for the video, OP. So touching, yet so heartbreaking. |

Handy Monkey User ID: 27535141 United States 03/18/2013 12:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah, really though what is the wild but an even bigger cage? I agree being in a completely natural undisturbed area is ideal, but this is a huge step. And frankly, after so much time spent cooped up and poked and prodded, it's probably about as much freedom as most can handle atm. I love these vids, gives me hope!

ladyannie2009 User ID: 35568680 United States 03/18/2013 01:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | there's a reason that chimpanzees are the preferred test subject when studying anything from birth defects & toxicology to viral strains & vaccinations. depending on the source referenced, chimp DNA is 96-99% the same as human DNA. since it would be completely immoral, illegal, & unethical to use human test subjects... ( ) ...... the chimpanzee becomes the human guinea pigs. I've researched this topic extensively, and because of what I've found....I've often wondered who the ~real~ savages are in our society. hint: it's not the animals [link to www.icr.org] [link to txbiomed.org] "the truth will stand up, when nothing else will" - annie's mom "When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt.

Poor things would need a lot of rehab to be released into the wild, especially at their age and depending on what they were tested with. They test HIV with some of them and could put the wild ones at risk by spreading whatever our .gov decided to infect them with. They probably also have "learned helplessness" and would be at a disadvantage in so many ways. Should have never been confined and used for research in the first place. 8( |

Perhaps you preferred the alternative. The smugness of the self proclaimed GLPee elite comes shinning through again. I really hope you're never confined to a crate in your lifetime. Should that day come and then the day of your release, I'll be happy for you anyway and keep any pissy comments to myself. |
