Animal Testing

Should Chimpanzees be implanted with deadly viruses?  The article Chimps fate ignites debate, discusses this issue. 

The article states that in Alamogordo NM a Chimpanzee research facility has brought several unofficially retired chimps back into testing.  This has sprung up a lot of debate among the scientific community.  Most scientists believe that the chimps should return to testing and shouldn’t be allowed to retire.  Animal rights activists say that the chimps deserve retirement to a chimp sanctuary.

I think that the chimps should get to retire after a certain amount of testing.  One the chimps have a few months of testing they should be moved into a sanctuary and no longer able to be tested.  I also think that the chimps shouldn’t be taken from the wild but rather bred in the testing facility.  I don’t think it is right to take a wild animal into testing.
