In the course of bringing about an end to chimpanzee research, Project R&R’s science team, along with other scientists, investigated the limitations and problems of using chimpanzees as a means of studying human disease and health. They also looked at the life-long suffering that has resulted for chimpanzees from their use and laboratory confinement.

In the interest of open discussion, we welcome comments. If you have a paper to contribute or questions, contact us.
