The fate of hundreds of chimpanzees used for medical research in the United States will soon be decided. The government plans to send most of the animals to sanctuaries, but may keep around 50 in captivity to be used for experiments. A special facility in the US southern state of Louisiana, which is funded by government and private groups, is providing a safe haven for the primates, many of which arrive with behavioural problems. Al Jazeera's John Hendren reports from Keithville, Louisiana.

???????? Chimpanzees go into retirement as US ends animal testing | Al Jazeera English

The United States was the last major nation to perform invasive testing on chimpanzees, infecting them with HIV, tuberculosis and other diseases.
It stopped in 2015 because of animal cruelty concerns. Now, instead of living out their days in a lab, the chimps have gone into retirement in a new home.
