Abstract

A colony of chimpanzees that dates from the dawn of the U.S. space program is the object of a tug-of-war between a biomedical research foundation and animal rights activists. The U.S. Air Force, which owns the colony, no longer has any need for the chimps and is looking for a private outfit to take them over. Three groups are expected to submit proposals by the 3 June deadline, and the outcome of the contest will determine whether the animals will be used for research or be left to live out their lives in a sanctuary.
