Chimpanzees go into retirement as US ends animal testing

Chimpanzees go into retirement as US ends animal testing

The United States was the last major nation to perform invasive testing on chimpanzees, infecting them with HIV, tuberculosis and other diseases.

Al Jazeera's John Hendren reports from Keithville in Louisiana.
