Subject: RE: BS: Should tests on Chimps be banned.
Chongo's relatives on way to island home in Florida. From Alamogordo Daily News (New Mexico), Dec. 18, 2011.
"The great Chimp Migration has come to an end." Almost 300 chimpanzees have been moved from their cages at the former Coulton Research Facility to Florida islands built especially for them. Save the Chimps founder Carole Noon took over their care when the facility closed in 2002 (Jen Feuerstein took over in 2009). Most were first moved to Texas starting in 2002. The chimps range in age from two years to forty. Some monkeys are included in the group.
