Chimpanzee research is a growing awarness in the world with many countries banning it and arguing that experimenting on these animals is flat out wrong. Chimpanzee reserach labratories are used to conduct invasive experiments to test drugs on chimpanzees, this trend of using chimpanzees for research started in the 1920s. Capturing baby chimps from forests in Africa and hunters would kill any other chimpanzee protecting the babies. Sent off to labs to be tested most of the chimpanzees lasting at most a year. Being that the Untied States is the last large scale user of chimp research, they discover great medical experiments while experimenting, but not caring for the chimps as they should and over using the chimps causing the chimps to experience

Animal for medical progress says “Animal-based research has led to important advances in the prevention and treatment of many diseases, including cancer, HIV/AIDS, heart disease, and diabetes. Millions of lives have been saved due to these advances, and further innovations in the coming generations will do even more to improve the quality of life for all” (Greenhaven Press.) Although over the past decades technology has evanced and has replaced some of these research animals, the Institue of Medicine have recently concluded that “most current use of chimpanzees for biomedical research is unnecessary” (Institute of Medicine.) There are many chimpanzees being housed in research facilites that never get to the research process instead they are caged their whole life costing the united states on average $325 million of federally funded money. So why are these animals being used in experimentation when we have computers that could take their place costing the U.S less money and do the job almost the same as if we would experiment on these
