Peta campaign huh?
Curious, why you think this is worse than the captive populations of greater apes being analyzed and taught sign language?
There is only one way capture a baby ape , you have to kill it mother. My dad lived in Mexico jungle and he saw how monkeys were captured . Dad said it was horrible to see the mothers being killed so the babies could be
captured. I am against having moneys use as lab animals and I am against using any animals in labs. I will not give money to studies brain injuries as monkeys are hit on the heads with a heavy object to give them brain damage.

YAY support!
How do you think she is supporting you??
She said she does not believe in animals in labs at all. The Washington facility for signing apes is a type of lab.
BLeGAL2, I was speaking of options!!!! The black slaves in America were giving options and it was made possible. As sad as their situation was, they were still allow the option of staying in America as free or going back "home". Since you claim to be able to communicate with the chimp/ape, why not ask: "you want to stay here or go back 'home'?" Of course, you can expalin that going'home' is a death sentence but at least it is a choice/option.
labs do medical research. we are not a lab. we are a sanctuary. This is their home and they call it that. They get to play all day long. All of our research is on how they use their signs to interact with one another--and it is from video tapes, we never interrupt their days

Bottesini is right. It's a lab.
Even if you're out in the field with only a net, with a pair of Wellington boots, armed a field guide and water-proof notepad wading through the marsh in middle of nowhere-- it's a lab.
OO a dictionary definition, like that will change my mind-NOPE. HA you can think whatever you want. You haven't been here, nor met them, or really even know what goes on day to day here, so what ever think what you want. MY OPINION its not a lab at all. Labs don't have the play room that we have, nor do they the enrichment that we do, or the communication that we do with them. Think what you want.
