StumbleLetter: Help save Air Force chimps used in scientific studies
Friday, March 20, 1998 | 10:33 a.m.
These chimps have been used in research for 40 years. Half of them have been infected with HIV and hepatitis. The Air Force leased them to civilian scientists to test everything from cancer-causing solvents in industrial cleaners to drugs for sexually transmitted diseases.
These courageous chimps paved the way for our space program, our true pioneers. Help us help them to retire with some dignity.
An estimated $14 million will be needed to build a sanctuary and provide lifetime care for our forgotten veterans.
