Some ex-space chimps leaving lab
WASHINGTON (AP) - Twenty-one chimpanzee veterans of the space program are
headed for retirement. They will be moved from a research laboratory in New
Mexico to a sanctuary in Florida under a court settlement with the Air
Force. The Center for Captive Chimpanzee Care, which is building the
sanctuary for the animals, sued the Air Force after it turned over 111
chimps to the Coulston Foundation lab last year. In September, the
Agriculture Department accused the Alamogordo, N.M., facility of
mistreating its 650 chimpanzees and forced it to give up 300 of them. The
Boynton Beach, Fla.-based center, whose board includes renowned
primatologist Jane Goodall, had unsuccessfully tried to obtain the Air
Force chimps before filing its lawsuit. See full story
