Yesterday I was reading this article in The New York Times Magazine (sundays) and the article was about a retirement home for chimps.
Apparently they were chimps that were used in NASA and biomedical research. They were taken from Africa and brought here for that purpose. Anyway the retirement home is in Louisiana, it has a wonderful view, and the chimps have TV, CD and DVD players, a lifetime supply of banana smoothies and all the other amenities humans would want.
Plus this place is federally funded.
That's right tax payers like you and I are actually paying for this and apparently an act was passed at the end of Clinton's administration to protect them. All this for some Chimps.
Why not let them live out their old age in their hometown in Africa. Is this the chimp equivalent of forty acres and a mule? I'm saying, if they gave it to the chimps... what about us??
