CHIMP Act passes, for better or worse

Article Abstract:

On December 20, 2000, US Congress passed the Chimpanzee Health Improvement Maintenance and Protection Act, which will result in a system of chimpanzee sanctuaries, where chimpanzees used by the federal government for biomedical research will "retire." Some animal rights activists are against the act because it does not guarantee that the chimps will not be reused for medical research.

The elephants' graveyard: life in captivity

Article Abstract:

Abuse and deprivation drive captive elephants to rampage and hurt people. The physical and mental stress suffered by elephants in captivity shortens their lives and severely affects their health. Stricter laws should be mandated to ensure the protection of elephants that are held captive and forced to perform in circuses.

The politics of animal research

Article Abstract:

Animal research advocates are stepping up their offensive versus animal rights activists in the form of graphic advertisements, depicting sick children who would benefit from such research. Pushing the campaign are pools of researchers, medical organizations and drug firms.
