U.S. stops breeding chimps for research 

"'This will spare some chimpanzees a life of up to 60 years in a laboratory. While it doesn't help chimpanzees already living in laboratories, it is a monumental decision,' Conlee added. 'Our ultimate goal is to put an end (to) the use of chimpanzees in research and retire those chimpanzees to permanent and appropriate sanctuary.'"

Hopefully this is as good as it sounds and it doesn't just mean they will be buying chimps elsewhere instead of breeding its own.

im interpreting this as the govt will not longer breed chimps. but is it requiring other facilities to stop also? such as our lovely ohsu?
