Sounds to me like a good use of tax dollars. And I sent them a donation too. When I think of the outrageous amount of tax dollars spent on coddling career criminals, drug abusers, and welfare addicts, the amount being spent on humane treatment of primates who have actually made a contribution to the well-being of the human race seems unjustifiably small.

In 1997, a panel of scientific experts said reducing the chimp population by euthanizing excess apes would be unethical. Citing the genetic similarities, the experts said the government had "a moral responsibility" for chimpanzees' long-term care.

“Scientific experts?” I would love to see their degrees and resumes.

PETA clowns, “doctors” of sociology, primate ethicists, etc.

If Mary Tyler Moore wasn’t so disgusted by her old face, she could have housed these monkeys on her plastic surgery money.

If Ed Begley Jr. would have chosen a field where he excelled, instead of acting, he could have chipped in to help.

Jessie, a pink-faced 20-year-old, slapped her ample belly and hooted wildly from behind a steel gate. Dover, a mischievous 4-year-old, spied an unfamiliar human and served up his standard greeting for strangers, a fistful of feces, pitched with remarkable accuracy.

When I read that, I thought that they were talking about driving around in certain parts of New York.

do you suppose the chimps will all stay on the reservation? Or will Louisiana wind up with its own population of wild chimpanzees?
