Chimps in captivity by Joey Barnes

Karen is one of the estimated 1,000 chimpanzees used in biomedical research.In 2009, when the world first learned of her through a Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) undercover investigation, she’d been locked up inside a Louisiana lab for 51 years.Taken from the wild as an infant, Karen was with some 325 other chimpanzees—all of them caged in concrete cells and subjected to terrifying and painful research experiments.After viewing a series of video clips of the chimps at the lab, Jane Goodall said: “In no lab I have visited have I seen so many chimpanzees exhibit such intense fear. The screaming I heard when chimpanzees were being forced to move toward the dreaded needle in their squeeze cages was, for me, absolutely horrifying.”

the U.S. holds the dishonorable distinction of being the only nation in the world, other than Gabon, that continues to conduct invasive experiments on chimpanzees

More than 900 chimpanzees still languish in laboratories in the United States, with as many as 80 percent of them simply warehoused because there is no longer a need to use them in experiments.

Who? What? Where? Why?

Many chimps were taken from there parents at a very young age for testing in labs. This happened all over the united states and still does today.Why? They say its because that they are so much like us, but it has been proven that some of the things we get do nothing at all to them

Save The Chimps

I think all of the chimps should be released into sanctuaries or back into the wild where they were ment to live
