Thread: Shocking Video: Lab chimps see daylight for first time in 30 years

I can't find the video to embed, sorry it's only available on this Sun newspaper webpage. The article is about chimps we have kept indoors for 30 years and deliberately infected with hepatitis and AIDS for testing.

They look malnourished, old and awful and hug each other upon exit. Perhaps a cure for AIDS has been found.

The short video makes me rather ashamed to be human.

Quite shocking but not surprising.

The chimpanzees were taken from their mothers shortly after their births and brought to a research facility in Austria.

Now theres a suprise

I can't watch, the comments are enough for me.

At least they had a happy retirement.

5 minutes after the release they were banging on the door to get back in for a cigarette.

That is fucked up.

Could at least have given them a hat and sunnies.

why for this story do you believe "the sun" is telling you the whole truth here ?

just because it validates some obscure generalisation that you hold ?

only for sheep

Video brings a tear to the eye



"If you be mine, I'll be yours" where can I get the tune?

do you shoulder the responsibility for everything humans do?

incidentally, whilst their life was in captivity, they look like they have been well cared for and have lived longer than they probably would have in the wild

so there are some positive aspects

you may well be using drugs or other products that were developed using these chimps

true about the drugs, but they looked rough as fuck. Also average life span in the wild is 45 years. these are about 30.

Poor sods. Just hope they let them star in a PG Tips ad for some compensation.

Animal cruelty/welfare is a difficult and complex subject since we don't really know to what extent our fellow vertebrates actually have the capacity to suffer in the way that we understand suffering. It is easy to anthropomorphise the experience we witness which may not always be valid.

Lastnight during an innocent search of the internet for information on kitchen funnels I came across a movie of a japanese girl having a bowl of very lively eels 'poured' into her wrong end (using a kitchen funnel) and then firing them out 1 at a time (they mostly landed about 3 feet away!).

Some of them put on a brave face but most of them looked distinctly the worse for wear from the experience and several seemed to have expired completely or else were in a comatose state of shock so I guess the chimps maybe don't need to feel too hard done by.

Why not ?

This video shows probably the happiest moment of their abused lives

Irritating for me though

By the same rationale, we can't simply assume that everything in The Sun is fabricated.

What's the obscure generalisation?

Monkeys are my least favorite animals bar mosquitoes, particularly chimpanzees. That's beside the point though.

Haven't you seen Rise of the Planet of the Apes yet?

They're fucking dangerous, they are.

yes, it is weird and shocking what you can find innocently

a search I made for "handjob asian bondage" suddenly showed some Indian bloke making garam masala

Got that right!

Charlton Heston even fell in love with one!
