'Retirement' Home Helps Chimpanzees Thrive After Medical Research

Chimp Haven has housed and helped hundreds of apes that are no longer needed in medical research.

Sitting on almost 200 acres near Shreveport, Louisiana is Chimp Haven — a place where chimpanzees once used in research go to "retire."

Since 1995, the sanctuary, supported by a non-profit organization, has taken care of primates after they are no longer needed for medical experiments. 

Most of the more than 300 hairy residents served as research subjects to help humans live healthier lives. Now it's up to the caretakers at Chimp Haven to make sure the chimps also live safe, healthy lives.
