- In June 2013 the U.S. National Institutes of Health announced it would retire most of the federally owned chimpanzees used in biomedical research in the country. This left about 310 chimps in need of relocation. More than a hundred of those chimpanzees have found a home in Louisiana's Chimp Haven, where they will live out the rest of their lives in retirement.

Thank you NIH, the veterinarians, and the caretakers who work with these awesome guys.
It is nice to see them being treated well, but it is also sad. One wonders how damaged some of them are psychologically if they wall walk, etc.
Yes, it's sad all around, but some of them looked just utterly broken, like the one towards the end with maybe 1 or 2 teeth, I can't imagine the suffering to which they've been subjected, and I can't believe they interact with humans at all, now,
bookbabe001 I think if the continue to use chimps for ground breaking science it should be limited to a certain time period only like no more than three years then retire. We need laws for protect all earthlings. We are the higher species we need to begin to act as caretakers
@@prettyblackdragon2498 its illegal and nothing was ground breaking. over 60 years of research for nothing
@@arielthepom well, a lot of people did get paid with your tax dollars. So, there was clearly a purpose.
@@prettyblackdragon2498all testing on chimps and using them for lab animals has been banned by Congress in 2015. That's why these sanctuaries were built so they would be able to have a place to live out the rest of their lives with some dignity.
Thank you for offering them retirement it's one thing to use them for groundbreaking research but it's the only decent thing to do to allow them to retire after and thank you very much. Every animal deserve this opportunity after giving human service in a lab
poor animals, its awfull what they have done with animal testing......disgusting, and sickening......shame on them for what theyve done
All those makeups you use, cleaning products, medicine, vaccines the list goes on and on and on that you would not have if it wasn't for chimpanzees being used it's something that had to be done to keep us safe and healthy. Go look at the bright side they banned all of that now and all of those chimps have been retired to live in these sanctuaries to be with other chimpanzees and live their lives out in dignity. So it's not all bad
Really happy that they're finally FREE from captivity and released back to where they belong!
I wish the video was a little longer because it is an interesting subject.
Yeah, when I right a comment I start part way through & miss half of the video, forget about pause button. Duh!!!
It's good to see that the chimps are getting to enjoy the rest of their lives. I hate these poor creatures being used that way. I wholeheartedly agree with using some of those career criminals instead. At least they'd be of some use to mankind instead of just a financial burden.
May God forgive us for ever using any animal in a lab.
god did not help them either
Your God allows it happen
@@divx1001 A very BIG AMEN TO THAT😇🙏📿
@@PRHILL9696 HE DID🙏
@@divx1001 god is the most evil monster ever created!
Freedom, space, companionship, no more painful medical tests, toxic injections, biopsies and surgeries, good food, freedom to be outside, no more cramped cages, no more isolation, compassionate caretakers, and justice to be themselves.
That is such a beautiful thing to say! By far the best comment that I've read on this thread. I couldn't agree more with you.💞💞👏👍👌💜💚💛🐒🐵🐒🍀🍀✌🏻✌🏻🦋🦋🌷🌷
Beautiful Heros........
Man I'm surprised it's taken til 2013 to do this but I'm glad they finally are. Hopefully they stop using them all together.
@Josh Robinson I never claimed to be talking about the world, obviously I was referring to the specific video. You don't have to be rude. Also this little comment was from 5 years ago!
agree
Give them the love and respect they deserve and have whole heartedly earned...life it not meant for this abuse...heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time..
Tell me how these labs are allowed to continue to operate?!
They're not. The US has banned research on chimps.
evil
Thing turn out for the best for all this chimps nice to know they are save Bless all of this suffering chimps , thank you you all save .
God I wish I could do this with my life!!
Wow wish I could have a job at a place like that! Would be amazing.
I rather work there than in my current job, working with attorneys.
Me too
But, yes you can ! Volunteer for free ! We all would like you to do ..... so go ahead !
I say test on the prisoners who have life or death penalty. We save money and save humanity.
agree
So sad...i wish i had money to donate
They accept donations, no matter how small. Perhaps you have some sheets or blankets that you want to get rid of--they will accept them, because the chimps make a nest 2 times A-day.. Any small amount can be donated needed to that sanctuary or any others such as Save the Chimps, Project Chimps, or Chimp Sanctuary Northwest. Many of them also have an Amazon wish list it's list that you can purchase a small item for at Christmas time period finally there is something called Amazon Smiles. If you sign up for it, every time you make an order from Amazon, a percentage will be donated to the organization of your choice. That's not any additional funding. It's simply making the purchases you would make anyway
💔💔💔
Humans are the mindless animals.
Fact
I love this video.
Yes there's still hope on earth.
I didn't even know they had a sanctuary in Louisiana, I'm in St. Landry, is this open to the public to go and look?
Where have their head posts gone? The whole thing is sick to begin with and that's sicker is trying to 'make up' the pain they themselves inflicted
Vanilla the Chimp 2023. The lady just said , chimps look up in awe
I hope that horrible practice will end soon and all of the will be free to live their lives happily ever after
So sad. Animal testing needs to end. I can't even know about it
agree
Is chimp haven still operating,this video's 6 years old though chimpanzees live quite a long life, decades. Fantastic retirement plan for the chimpanzees who came from labs and the chimpanzees in this video seem contented....anyway, again,this video's 6 years old,do chimp haven still operate,taking in chimpanzees ?
In Uganda they’re eaten and often starved to death , since the rainforest are disappearing by Chinese carpenters
Sad we use them in so upset
I love this n who is tge other country that STILL uses chimps for studies 😔
😢😭😭😭voel veel verdriet van🙁😔🙈💔💝🐵🐒💕💘❤
Were is roped old telegraph poles for them to climb you admit thier intelegent so why have them in a hole
This video is old so it is likely that they do indeed have swings made from firehouses now
Maybe they have helped humans but who asked these babies if they WANTED to take part???? No-one I think!!!!! You humans messed them up so now PUT IT RIGHT....!!!! God bless you little ones. I promise not ALL humans are arseholes!! 😘😘😘😘😘💖💖💖💖💖💝💝💝💝💝
agree
Poor baby's are closet human relatives and we do things to them like research on em.... Research on inmates who did wrong not are
It's like the maze runner
😭
Stop the cruelty to animals, no more animal testing.
UNDER 301 CLUB
So why arent they climbing the bloody trees cause they got a wall between them
why no one gives them a pillow?
They can be really destructive, and would tear apart a pillow and pull out the stuffing to make a nest. Most sanctuaries give chimps blankets twice a day so that they can make a nest to sleep in. They form a donut around their bodies with the blankets, if they know how. Some chimps never learned it and just prefer to sleep on the floor, but the places that need heating often have heated floors so that it's not cold.
THE RESEARCH INDUSTRY SHOULD USE THE DUMP, SWAMP CABINET N SWAMP FAMILY FOR INJECTING N SURGERY ON🤔😜WE THE PEOPLE VOLUNTEER THEM 🤣😂👌🌺
I want to be a primatologist and i aim to help conserve chimpanzees. But i want to be up close and personal with them, give them my trust so we are no longer separated by metal fences.
Putting aside the nonsense spoken in the interviews, I like this idea.
It is ABOMINABLE that human animals think they may use ANY other animals for ANY purpose at all.
Human animals should experiment on themselves if they want to benefit themselves. Worst of all is that human animals choose to violate the rights of primates and other known intelligent mammals. It is criminal to do so.
Animals ALL have EQUAL rights to the human species. Indeed, the latter have, by now, forfeited any priviledges that they took to be theirs, through their barbarian attitudes and behaviours toward Animals.
I am ashamed to be a human being, in view of the attrocities ,dealt out by humans, to all the wonderful animals in our world, over all the millenia that we have shared on this one Earth.
Humans have imprisoned, maimed, tortured, murdered, butchered, slain, fornicated with, used the wondrous Animals, and worse.
It is time we all saw the light.
I believe there may be some form of higher form of existence somewhere, somehow, who are able to see the human failure to behave respectfully toward the rest of the Animal world. I believe they have decided that enough is enough. The Animals are no longer suffering now. The 'Aliens' have intervened. And the guilty, barbarian humans will reap their just desserts.
What? You don't buy it? Would you prefer the continued suffering? Got a better, more viable notion?
Just a last thought. I am only concerned with whether an animal's wellbeing is compromised; whether it is in pain or suffering, if something can be done to alleviate the suffering, and stop it as soon as possible, and return the animal to comfort and joy.
I find the whole human preoccupation with conservation as a priority, to be so wrong, where, as i see too often, otherwise well-meaning 'conservationists' actually do place the emotional and psychological welfare, and even Animals' physical wellbeing, secondary to their desire to make the species continue. THAT IS NOT RIGHT either.
In my heart and soul, i am mindful of the needs of the precious souls and hearts of the Animals in this world.
And Yes, i am vegetarian, pacifist, minimalist, and am educating myself as best as i can in this (horror) meat-eating hell, to be VEGAN.
There is much more to say, but this will have to do for now.
yes bizarre how we think something like auschwitz was terrible, yet we do this to animals over and over
agree!
@@a.g.9919 I know right
Cant stand it how she talks to them as if they are toddlers
we should start testing with inmates
Yes plz, we might as well put them to good use, test some cancer stuff on them
I thought of that first but that's OK it's a good idea anyway :)
But it should be people who got the death penalty only(for ethical reasons) instead of executing them we can keep them around for this.
Yes. Yes. Yes! And I've gotten bashed for commenting similar sentiment on other videos. Death row inmates.
Yesssss I've said that for years! We should end animal testing and go straight to the death row inmates that are slated to die within a particular year and just rotate them
kety ko good idea why not put them into service they should be given the choice. Die or give some service. But only for really terrible murderers
koba
Mop
Look thier still caged no were to climb swing have somewhere to go private.old telegraph poles are free old fire hoses are free
This video is old. Chances are they probably have installed firehose swings
