Why Chimpanzees Should Not Be Kept In Research
Why should chimpanzees be kept in scientific laboratories? I think, chimpanzees should not be kept in scientific laboratories. They are close to the humans because chimpanzees and humans are just differing by one percentage of DNA .By knowing about chimpanzees, we can better understand ourselves. However, we are treating our relatives very badly. Chimpanzees should not be kept in scientific laboratories because of less facility, impossible for physical contact, and fewer caretakers in laboratories. Chimpanzees should not be kept in laboratories because facilities in laboratories are not better. "Though this particular laboratory may be one of the worst, from what I have learned, most of the other bio-medical animal research facilities are not much better" (Goodall, 1987.part1). For example, the cages in the laboratories are very small, lined, and stacked one above the other. Furthermore, the chimps in these cages are not able to turn around. According to Goodall (1987.part2), chimps has to be in cages individually other than when breeding program. Moreover, cages are uncomfortable to sleep and chimps are easily get sick. Therefore, chimpanzees should not be kept in scientific laboratories.

Another reason to chimpanzees should not be kept in scientific laboratories because impossible for physical contact.
However, chimps should not be in contact each other because they spend more time in cages. From this, social grooming is not possible that is single most important social activity (Goodall, 1987.part2). Because of chimps living alone they can easily get stress and depression. "however, they can have deleterious effects on their health and get a variety of physiological disorders" (Goodall, 1987.part2). So, chimps don't kept alone in scientific laboratories. Hence, physical contact of chimps is impossible in scientific
laboratories. Because of fewer caretakers, chimpanzees should not be kept in scientific laboratories. "Bonds between individuals, particularly between family members and close friends, can be affectionate, supportive, and can endure throughout their lives" (Goodall, 1987.part1). Caretakers can understand the animal behavior and they can maintain relationship with chimps. And chimps can also trust caretakers and cooperate during experiments to them. According to Goodall, the most important way we can improve the quality of life for the laboratory chimps is to increase the number of carefully trained caretakers (1987.part2) . Therefore, chimps should not keep in laboratories because of fewer caretakers.
In conclusion, chimpanzees should not be kept in scientific laboratories because of less facility, impossible for physical contact, and fewer take takers in laboratories. We came from the chimpanzees, so we are just another ape. We are just thinking about the few facilities to provide them, but we take so much from them like freedom, health, and often their lives. In my opinion, we have a responsibility to increase facilities, provide physical contact, and more care takers in laboratories. By providing these, we can understand ourselves as well as chimpanzees.
