Chimps' fate ignites debate reading

  

Have you ever stopped to think about who exactly takes credit for the testing of medical substances?  Of course medical researchers make the substances, but who do you think tests them?  Of course not humans, researchers would rather test on animals, or to be specific, chimpanzees.  In Alamogordo, New Mexico, there are about 700 chimps at the National Institutes of Health.  They are used for vaccine testing, like Hepatitis C and HIV.  I think that this is awful.  I don't like the fact that animals sre considered to have less value than humans.  I find this strange because humans sre animals, even though we as humans are a little bit more smarter and more developed socially, so there for we are the highest rated animal, this doesn't meant that we are any better than they are or that our lives have more value than there’s do.  I think that the animals should be taken to San Antonio, Texas, as suggested by Bill Richardson, or at least put into retirement.  They are by far over used and it is rather sad that the NIH would rather continue to abuse the rights of these animals, instead of giving them the respect that they disserve.
