Cage-Free Chimps: Is the End of Chimpanzee Research Near?

Scientist on July 30, 2012

Animal testing is critical to advancing science and learning more about disease, but what animals are effective? It’s safe to say that mice, rats, or rabbits will stay in use for the foreseeable future, but research is showing that testing on chimpanzees no longer needed. Our newest infographic investigates chimpanzee research in the United States and why it would be beneficial to discontinue chimpanzee research. We present a cogent argument based on research results, cost, and ethics that science should look into using other animals for research, so take a look and judge for yourself.
