A Maryland court has declared that the U.S. National Institutes of Health violated federal law when it prevented primates used in biomedical studies from being sent to Chimp Haven.
all of the approximately 300 chimps it owned or supported to Chimp Haven, whose naturalistic environment includes a 2-hectare forest where the animals can climb trees and poke sticks into artificial termite mounds.
Others in the biomedical community have argued the apes are cared for as well—if not better—in their current facilities, and note they have access to many of the same forms of enrichment they would have at Chimp Haven. “In order to drive them to Chimp Haven, these very old and sick animals would have to sit in a small transport box for days,” Buckmaster says.
So in 2021, HSUS—along with Animal Protection of New Mexico and several other plaintiffs—sued NIH. In her decision this week, U.S. District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby says NIH’s stance violates the CHIMP Act. “Congress intended for the federal sanctuary system to provide lifetime care for chimpanzees that are no longer appropriate for research due to advanced age, infections, or similar circumstance,” she wrote.
