Thanks to Jane Goodall and other scientists, discoveries that chimpanzees possess a culture, complex emotions and cognitive abilities are becoming common knowledge. The vivisection industry fears that compassion and justice for these cousins of ours can reverberate into a challenge to their industry. I believe they are correct. If passed, this will establish a network of sanctuaries for chimpanzee refugees from federal laboratories and breeding establishments.

Most macaques are brown and gray or brown and white.
They have light-colored eyelids which accentuate facial expressions. Many have short tails. Macaques, like other Old World monkeys, are second only to humans in their ability to use fingertips and opposable thumbs to manipulate small objects. Macaques are found in more varied climates and habitats than any other primate, save humans ranging from Japan to Morocco . They are omnivorous, although fruit tends to be their primary food source.
