It makes me want to vomit looking at all the money , time and resources invested into these useless apes yet we still have homeless vets battling PTSD, hungry children who need a home, families living in their cars, etc. We sure have our priorities messed up as a country. What an absolute waste and for what? Chimps are vile disgusting creatures. Incredibly violent and dangerous, dont forget that fact.
If you haven't been to Chimp Haven, you should definitely make the time to go. I have been to their Discovery Days and participated in Chimp Chat & Chew twice and will definitely be going again. What they do at this facility is so wonderful and to have the chance to see these magnificent animals up close in a more natural environment is not to be missed! The staff is great, friendly and eager to share information and stories about the chimps. I can't wait until my grand babies are old enough to visit!
This is beautiful and sad at the same time. The people who did research should be locked up for years and have tests done on them. There is another video (don't think it's the same place) where chimps were released after years and when they came out they looked up at the sun and were amazed. Some even hugged each other. They were scared but you could see they were happy too. It breaks my heart. In this day and age there should be an alternative to all animal testing.

I'm confused. If they were reserch animals, why aren't the companies that benefited from it pay the bill. It's only fair that they take care of them in their retirement.
I'd give a donation to stop them from talking about monkeys like they're at an Anthony Robbins inspiration event: "thriving not surviving", and "you hold the keys to their success" = "send us some cash". They do good work from the sounds of it, but let up on the bs human-speak picked up from a self-help book - it just sounds ridiculous.
@@NinoNiemanThe1st Thank you for giving voice to my internal conflict. It was like watching a religious indoctrination video, but I couldn't put my finger on why it was making me feel icky.
This is not only the cleanest but the best maintained sanctuary i've seen. It's all current so everything looks fresh and new. The aireal view is absolutely breathtaking! It's unique and creative design just draws you in I can't wait to go there!!! Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed everything!!! Great job!!!
With all the millions of people around the world who are suffering and in desperate need of resources like food, medicine, shelter, mental health services, etc. Why do we continue to waste valuable resources on a bunch of useless apes? This is a total waste and a horrible example of screwed up priorities. These resources should be shifted towards hungry children and families. The nerve you people have amazes me. If you can't afford to care for these disgusting creatures euthanize them .
Too bad we aren't that concerned with the facilities that orphans and foster children love in . We are more concerned with the well being of the vile disgusting creatures than that of our nations children. And we wonder why everything is so screwed up I this country. SMH Screwed up priorities people, what a shame
@@ChristyHeath-hd4or The only thing screwed up is your head...just who is "we"? The chimps and those taking care of them have nothing to do w the conditions human orphans have to deal with,which falls on state,federal,and/or local authorities...And did u miss the part about where these chimps have been in labs being tested on for the sake of humans? I sure hope so bc if this is all the empathy you can shop these animals,then I SERIOUSLY doubt your now seemingly ingenuine concern for human orphans. Yeah,what a shame..you said it.
Check out chimp sanctuary Northwest it's actually nicer than this place they don't have as many chimps but it's the same concept they're all retired from either biolabs or from people's pets.
These chimps are not from "companies". They are from the National Institute of health, a government organization. The NIH pays for 75% of their care and the rest is from private donations. The NIH could have simply euthanized them but they made the choice to send them to a sanctuary instead. Many of the vaccines you receive today were developed by testing on chimps. I think it is a pretty neat thing that the US has realized this testing is no longer needed and trying to make up the wrongs we did to them. There is no corporate greed involved..
You take Gods animals out of their natural habitats and do research study's on them I can only imagine what is being done to th em ,stating they helped humans .why don't you do your research on yourselves ,these animals were not created for this .I think you all are very cruel ,heartless and evil .They belong in their own natural habitat .
@@dorothytemple4195 I suspect in prisons, there would be lots of volunteers for these tests (so no animals required anyway). For example, you can have a TV for you cell - if you volunteer - albeit with restricted channels. If a woman has to wait 5 extra years for a new makeup composition - because no animal testing is allowed - so be it. Human race with so little compassion towards other species, that animal testing would be allowed, is really not a human race (that any of us should be proud of). And I believe that applies even to testing of medicines. We have no right to use primates in any testing, period; find other means: use cockroaches, even designer mice if you absolutely have to (but guaranteeing 'no suffering').
@@MKarhu05well you can just quit all your crying and whining because Congress outlawed using chimpanzees as lab animals in 2016 that's why these places were built I mean didn't you listen to anything all these chimpanzees we're retired because the US Congress pass the law. If they've done one good thing that's it. So please just stop your crying they're all going to be fine these chimpanzees are living better than some humans we have homeless and homeless veterans it don't even have a roof over their head so just take it somewhere else all the money that was spent to build these places was privately donated if you don't want to give then don't but you have zero right to tell others what they can do with her own money.
I love seeing our close relatives living lives full of friends, choices, perfect environment, and doing what they want outside of cages and experiments. Good for you Chimp Haven.
@@teijaflink2226 they are monkeys not like their people come on I do like animals but come on y'all are saying there are relatives? y'all been locked up in the house house too long
This is a awesome, sanctuary, but there is so much you could improve. I watch the other sanctuary and they give the chimpanzees so much enrichment, and quality of life. They are extremely happy and you can tell. Christmas and birthdays are exciting for them. They need things to look forward to and get excited about, instead of sitting stagnant.
Chimps are such vile disgusting creatures. They love to make these violent dangerous beasts out to be these harmless playful animals just like us. The TRUTH is these animals are incredibly violent and dangerous and have known to eat people alive. I'll rejoice the day they are extinct!!! The earth would be a better place. With all the human suffering and desperate human need out there, this seems to be such an enormous waste of valuable resources. When we can get our homeless vets with PTSD taken care of, then we can worry about these Chimps supposed" PTSD. Pfffff. SMH
I'm surprised that these chimps didn't go insane! Their mental health is so much better than I would have expected. Thank goodness. I'm so happy for them ❤
So glad your giving them a natural habitat, or something close to it. One person commented that the labs that tortured them for years should be paying for some of their care. I definitely agree
I bet before the came into the world, they knew something great and wonderful will happen and their journey will be worth it, than trauma happened, and things gone grim for a while, and THAN a very big thing happened - they got a ticket out of their grim, and found their destiny. That must have been a very satisfying transition to experience, not easy though - but well worth it at the end.
Jessica Mcparlin because the Government have too many other beings on welfare, Etc. Etc. I do believe that there may be some groups that get together to raise money for chimp Haven ,like they do for dog rescues. Our government meaning the United States government spends millions of dollars helping the people in need here in our country, they also spend millions of dollars helping other countries . There’s only so much $$that goes around. There are many sanctuaries in all the different states for all kinds of animals that can’t be adopted you just have to look for them.
If they are in Louisiana, what does this facility do in thee event of a Hurricane? Where do the chimps go? Who watches over them if the staff have families of there own??

It is because of studies done on chimps that we know what we know about them and why so many people are fascinated by them, you wouldn't know or understand much about them without any kinds of studies; just don't be a hypocrite...
The studies done on them in no way improved our understanding of them as a species, nor how they behave naturally. It ALL simply improved our knowledge of how drugs, cosmetics and other products designed for humans affected "human" like biology because testing potentially dangerous products on humans is illegal!!
@@joesurfer9754 chimps are immune against the Aids and Hepatitis virus and they are the closest relative (98,4%) to humans. They infect them with the virus and research why it not breaks out at them. The main reason is some small distinctions at the immune system proteins. Great Apes (ca.700 chimps 2017) only used by US companies and universities for this kind of research, because they are to expensive. For cosmetics or drugs they use other not so expensive animal. Chimphaven do also research with this chimps, but only ethology from chimps who grow up without parenting and any contact in isolation. Most of the money they become from the companies/universities who "use" this chimps before. In Austrian near Vienna we have also a farm like this for 34 chimps build by the pharma company who use the chimps before. Since 1997 the chimps live there and the Austrian company still pay for there fostering. In Europe it's forbidden to use great apes for labour research since 15-20 years. The US is sadly the last official country who use great apes for research.
I love this place but I would like to ask a question , lousisana pine trees grow very and tall and and when heavy rains seep into the soil the pine trees can topple over on to the fence creating terrible situation. My question is are the pine trees far away from the fences? thank you.
What an absolute obsecene waste of valuable resources on a bunch of useless apes that should have been euthanized a long time ago.. in these times with homeless vets, struggling families with hungry children, and many people in need if the basic necessities, this is an incredibly stupid waste of money.

They are used to living indoors. The chimps are generally fairly old and can’t fully adjust to the lifestyle they should have had. Also I suspect Louisiana is colder at night then Africa perhaps?

This is fantastic. I only recently learned how chimps and other primate species, have been used in research for the past several decades. From what I have seen, which hopefully is not out of context propaganda from activist groups. The conditions and treatment of research animals has largely been deplorable. Chimp Haven really does seem like the best possible way try to make right what we humans have done to these amazing animals. I only wish there weren’t so many starving, homeless, mentally ill and suffering people in our country that could use the money and efforts of people who want to make a difference in the world. Shouldn’t they be our priority? There’s so much need in the world and it is hard to know what to do. I guess the answer is to just do something.
William Thompson I believe the one case has no more value than the other. I don’t think it needs to be humans OR animals but on the other hand, humans AND animals.
Let the companies who benefit financially from the torture of innocent animals pay for the care into retirement! Shameful begging from average folks wont solve this issue! Write to your congress, local businesses in your area that use test subject animals for profit and put social pressure on them!
I know that the chimps are desexed for obvious reasons but I wonder if they ever get frustrated or confused by not been able to get pregnant? If they're so similar to humans and often feel the same emotions and are so intelligent I wonder if its something they think about or discuss amongst the group
Maurice Palmer you must be very young to be confused about these things. They aren’t “de-sexed”, either. They are probably “neutered”, meaning they’ve had surgery to prevent them producing sperm (males), and the females have surgery to prevent them from “ovulating”, or producing a microscopic egg that is the thing that, when mixed with sperm, could grow into one of the same type creature as the parents. Chimps are pretty smart, but they cannot “discuss” things intellectually. And I don’t think they would feel sad or depressed because they didn’t have a baby.
Imagine relying on donations where a pharmaceutical industry benefited both at a company level, but executive as well. No money from them for this. I can't tell you how I feel about the pharmaceutical industry at this point. What scum these people are.
I think it' is time you update this video and let the people know what is really going on there!!.. the chimps are suffering.. they don't ever leave their indoor habitat they never leave their hard concrete feces infested rooms.. how many chimps now are suffering with floating limb syndrome? How many champs is it now that are suffering with infection so bad from injuries because the veterinarian staff does not have a clue on what they're doing.. how many days was it during the pandemic that the entire facility was empty of caregivers
Ive worked with animals all my life and even in canada where there is no chimpanzes i manage to finish my degree in sexuality behavior of great apes. I love those animals to death even if There is not a lot of chance to work close with them apart from zoo captivity. one day i will...

It is because of studies done on chimps that we know what we know about them and why so many people are fascinated by them, you wouldn't know or understand much about them without any kinds of studies; just don't be a hypocrite...
The studies done on them in no way improved our understanding of them as a species, nor how they behave naturally. It ALL simply improved our knowledge of how drugs, cosmetics and other products designed for humans affected "human" like biology because testing potentially dangerous products on humans is illegal!!
@@joesurfer9754 chimps are immune against the Aids and Hepatitis virus and they are the closest relative (98,4%) to humans. They infect them with the virus and research why it not breaks out at them. The main reason is some small distinctions at the immune system proteins.
Great Apes (ca.700 chimps 2017) only used by US companies and universities for this kind of research, because they are to expensive. For cosmetics or drugs they use other not so expensive animal.
Chimphaven do also research with this chimps, but only ethology from chimps who grow up without parenting and any contact in isolation. Most of the money they become from the companies/universities who "use" this chimps before.
In Austrian near Vienna we have also a farm like this for 34 chimps build by the pharma company who use the chimps before. Since 1997 the chimps live there and the Austrian company still pay for there fostering.
In Europe it's forbidden to use great apes for labour research since 15-20 years. The US is sadly the last official country who use great apes for research.
I love this place but I would like to ask a question , lousisana pine trees grow very and tall and and when heavy rains seep into the soil the pine trees can topple over on to the fence creating terrible situation. My question is are the pine trees far away from the fences? thank you.
Good stuff..
I am just wondering whether there is a danger they might eat some poisonous plants or mushrooms?
What an absolute obsecene waste of valuable resources on a bunch of useless apes that should have been euthanized a long time ago.. in these times with homeless vets, struggling families with hungry children, and many people in need if the basic necessities, this is an incredibly stupid waste of money. I hope my tax dollars aren't paying for this bullshit! I would rather see children nourished and enriched than these vile disgusting creatures. Screwed up priorities people!!! SMH givr them to our military for target practicing! Don't be fooled people these are very dangerous violent animals!
Chimps are such vile disgusting creatures. They love to make these violent dangerous beasts out to be these harmless playful animals just like us. The TRUTH is these animals are incredibly violent and dangerous and have known to eat people alive. I'll rejoice the day they are extinct!!! The earth would be a better place. With all the human suffering and desperate human need out there, this seems to be such an enormous waste of valuable resources. When we can get our homeless vets with PTSD taken care of, then we can worry about these Chimps supposed" PTSD. Pfffff. SMH
If you people had your way they would still be locked up they deserve to be free some of them look poorly
Why inside bedrooms, that is not how they live in the wild..You would think they would try to get their life as near to the wild as possible.
They are used to living indoors. The chimps are generally fairly old and can’t fully adjust to the lifestyle they should have had. Also I suspect Louisiana is colder at night then Africa perhaps?
@@molybdomancer195 Good points, I quite agree..I forgot about howhot Africa is, and Louisiana is definitely no match.
With all the millions of people around the world who are suffering and in desperate need of resources like food, medicine, shelter, mental health services, etc. Why do we continue to waste valuable resources on a bunch of useless apes? This is a total waste and a horrible example of screwed up priorities. These resources should be shifted towards hungry children and families. The nerve you people have amazes me. If you can't afford to care for these disgusting creatures euthanize them .

@3:30 there is a gentleman lifting cases of food, bending at the waist and swinging from right to left with that heavy weight. Would someone please take the time to train your staff (be it paid or volunteer) how to lift properly? Ive had seven spine surgeries and my spine was damaged by improper heavy lifting. I don't want anybody to have to become disabled like I am.
Beautiful
When they brought those chimps to Louisiana it raised the median IQ of the state.

il y a encore des bonnes ames pour les protégé heureusement !
The chimps were given the gift of wood
This is fantastic. I only recently learned how chimps and other primate species, have been used in research for the past several decades. From what I have seen, which hopefully is not out of context propaganda from activist groups. The conditions and treatment of research animals has largely been deplorable. Chimp Haven really does seem like the best possible way try to make right what we humans have done to these amazing animals. I only wish there weren’t so many starving, homeless, mentally ill and suffering people in our country that could use the money and efforts of people who want to make a difference in the world. Shouldn’t they be our priority? There’s so much need in the world and it is hard to know what to do. I guess the answer is to just do something.
William Thompson I believe the one case has no more value than the other. I don’t think it needs to be humans OR animals but on the other hand, humans AND animals.
@@alicekragh4298 humans are animals
are young being born there?
tia
This is a very good question and the answer should be disclosed to donation supporters
They have been due to failed vasectomies. It’s definitely not planned to be that way.
Louisiana must feel a lot like Africa at times. 😆 ❤🐵🐵🐵🐵
Depends on which neighborhoods in New Orleans you're in....
@@Britton_Thompson I BET!😆🐵
😊🙏🐵🤗❤️❤️❤️
Let the companies who benefit financially from the torture of innocent animals pay for the care into retirement!
Shameful begging from average folks wont solve this issue!
Write to your congress, local businesses in your area that use test subject animals for profit and put social pressure on them!
Bonjour, merci pour ses chimpanzé il vont être heureux désormais .
i liked pana
I know that the chimps are desexed for obvious reasons but I wonder if they ever get frustrated or confused by not been able to get pregnant? If they're so similar to humans and often feel the same emotions and are so intelligent I wonder if its something they think about or discuss amongst the group
Maurice Palmer you must be very young to be confused about these things. They aren’t “de-sexed”, either. They are probably “neutered”, meaning they’ve had surgery to prevent them producing sperm (males), and the females have surgery to prevent them from “ovulating”, or producing a microscopic egg that is the thing that, when mixed with sperm, could grow into one of the same type creature as the parents. Chimps are pretty smart, but they cannot “discuss” things intellectually. And I don’t think they would feel sad or depressed because they didn’t have a baby.
Imagine relying on donations where a pharmaceutical industry benefited both at a company level, but executive as well. No money from them for this. I can't tell you how I feel about the pharmaceutical industry at this point. What scum these people are.
It’s still a cage.
❤👏
Miss seeing videos of them
Such a great cause! Can we give them spears to fight each other with
Theo Von wasn’t lying
I think it' is time you update this video and let the people know what is really going on there!!.. the chimps are suffering.. they don't ever leave their indoor habitat they never leave their hard concrete feces infested rooms.. how many chimps now are suffering with floating limb syndrome? How many champs is it now that are suffering with infection so bad from injuries because the veterinarian staff does not have a clue on what they're doing.. how many days was it during the pandemic that the entire facility was empty of caregivers
Ive worked with animals all my life and even in canada where there is no chimpanzes i manage to finish my degree in sexuality behavior of great apes. I love those animals to death even if There is not a lot of chance to work close with them apart from zoo captivity. one day i will...

Whoever made that first song plagiarized the fuck out of Hanz Zimmers "You're So Cool" from True Romance.
Looked pretty peaceful. Some of the other chimp sanctuaries make me think all chimps should be put down
20 years after testing lollll i dont call this a heaven PFFFFFFFFFFFFF
If Humans die out soon, I'll mKe it my goal to put a board on the river so the chimps can be freed.
Prehistoric Matt. Nah
Toss em one of those Co2 Tanks full if fart gas that made Ceaser a genius and they'll make a bridge

Horrible things
Thank you for the vidio and thank you for taking care of them.God bless!
