Ricky Gervais Asks NIH To Return Chimps To Sanctuary
Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, April 19th, 2011 in Actors, Animal Issues, Comedians.
Ricky Gervais would like the National Institutes of Health to return several chimpanzees who were almost retired back to a sanctuary after being moved into a medical research laboratory in Texas.
Gervais was born in England, where licenses for experiments on chimpanzees were banned over a decade ago. Since then, several countries have followed this lead, including New Zealand, the Netherlands, Sweden, Austria and Belgium.
