WARNING: Viewer discretion advised! Seriously folks it was hard for me to watch!!! This kind of HORRIBLE ABUSE and confinement has to be STOP! Murderers, Rapist and Child Molestors are treated BETTER than this... SHAME ON THESE RESEARCH CENTERS and THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR SPONSORING THIS and with OUR taxpayer money!
If it wasn't for the UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATIVE work the volunteers at HSUS did WE would NEVER know about the ATROCIOUS TORTURE animals have to ENDURE! The research facilities OUR government sponsors CLAIM they are using the animals to find cures for our benefit. However, you would THINK after a half a century of having these animals at their disposal WHY haven't the SO-CALLED scientist CURED ANY of the diseases we face today???? Therefore, that leaves me to wonder WHAT they are really using these animals for!!!!

End the Use of Chimps in Research
Watch Our Video, Then Take Action
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.
The Great Ape Protection Act is expected to be re-introduced very soon. This legislation aims to end invasive research on the chimpanzees remaining in laboratories, retire the approximately 500 FEDERALLY-OWNED chimpanzees to permanent sanctuary (including the elder chimps at NIRC), and make the recent decision by the National Center for Research Resources (part of the National Institutes of Health) to stop funding the breeding of federally-owned chimpanzees permanent.
