A nine-month-long undercover investigation by The HSUS has exposed the mistreatment of nearly 300 chimpanzees and other primates at the New Iberia Research Center (NIRC) in Louisiana.
These chimps, living lives of deprivation and misery, are among the more than 1,000 chimps languishing in laboratories across the United States. Chimps, our closet genetic relative, are complex, social, and long-lived creatures. Many chimps currently warehoused in research facilities have lived for decades behind bars. Especially heartbreaking are stories of the 26 elder chimps at NIRC, who were taken from their mothers in the wild. 2 CommentsLeave a comment |

I couldn't watch the video. Just the thought of how these poor chimps live hurts my heart! I signed the action alert and will definately write my representatives! It is disgusting how some animals are treated! My heart and prayers are with these and all the other abused animals.
