Research on chimpanzees must end - TheHill.com: "By Justin Goodman - 09/07/11 06:09 PM ET
I recently testified on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatmet of Animals before a federally commissioned National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine committee charged with determining whether the United States should retain the dishonorable distinction of being one of only two countries in the world — Gabon being the other — that continues to conduct harmful experiments on chimpanzees.
While the dwindling few who still defend the cruel practice mistakenly claim that it is vital to the advancement of human health, most experts speaking at the recent meeting admitted — either voluntarily or under questioning from the panel — that experimenting on chimpanzees is not necessary to find cures for human ailments."
