Last Friday the U.S. declared that all chimps are endangered so now they will get help. It all started 5 years ago when Jane Godell when she made a petition to make them all endangered. Wild chimpanzees have been endangered for decades while captive ones were "threatened". This did not seem right so the petition was made. This means that all monkeys used for experiments will need a permit to get experimented on. this will mean that less chimpanzees will go through an experiment and possibly die for other things except their species.
I chose this article because the monkeys have always been kind of cool to see and look at how they progress. They are almost like us so they are kind of deserving of not being tortured and/or more. They are used for experiments than normal/other animals. I can see why this is happening so I can understand it better.
This is important because if we lose these chimps than a food chain in an area could go completely wrong with more or less animals than there must be. If we save these animals than an area could be saved and not ruined. Animals have to do with the environment so this has to do with our class. Now we just have to take care of these animals and hopefully they will reproduce and grow bigger in population.
Good Job #5
