Senator Bob Smith
One of the lead sponsors of the CHIMP Act (signed into law in 2000)—the first law to prohibit killing of a non human species, chimpanzees, for the convenience of a lab and to create a federally funded “retirement” system for chimpanzees no longer needed for research. Update: In 2007, The Chimp Haven is Home Act closed a loophole in the CHIMP Act which had allowed chimpanzee to be returned to research under certain circumstances. Chimpanzees now have permanent protection and cannot be returned to research once they are retired—an accomplishment consistent with Senator Smith’s original goal with the CHIMP Act.
