- Dr. Jane Goodall responding to the Nightline special detailing the mistreatment of hundreds of chimpanzees and other primates at New Iberia Research Center. Join the HSUS and urge Louisiana Governor Jindal to retire the 26 elderly, wild-caught chimpanzees from the New Iberia Research Center!

    I think Jane should be horrified by these conditions! So am I! I hope she can use her status and do something for these wonderful animals!

    The chimps at Iberia Research Center had been abused and mistreated in the most horrible ways. After I saw the undercover investigation by HSUS I can’t not stay quiet. I am telling to my friends and family about it and I am trying to do as much as I can to spread the word. The employees and such call “scientist” in these facility they should feel ashamed and disgraced by their actions. They should be the ones that endure the horrible testings and they should be in cages by them selfs eating their limbs waiting for a secure death. These people should be removed from their positions and should resign immediately. They should be replace by compassionate individuals that treat these wonderful animals with the respect they deserve.

      I don’t know why the students at this univ. have not protested the cruel treatment of all the animals in new Iberia research lab. Unless, of course the univ has succeeded in training another generation of cruel , insensitve young people who do work there.
      I am horrified by this treatment and hope that soon the chimps are released and New Iberia is closed down for good. Its for sure I will never recommend this school to any of my students.
      This , I didn’t know has been going on for years and years. How dare anyone treat any animal with such cruel torture. This la has been the terrorists of the animal world. Shut them down.
