ANIMAL RESEARCH:
Coulston Chimps Head to Retirement
Gretchen Vogel
The beleaguered Coulston Foundation, formerly the largest chimpanzee research facility in the United States, is no longer in the primate research business. On 16 September the Florida-based Center for Captive Chimpanzee Care took over Coulston's Alamogordo, New Mexico, facility. The new caretaker plans to retire the animals from research, eventually relocating many to a sanctuary in Florida.
