Life Outside the Lab: Inside Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest
Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest sits at the base of a forested hill off Highway 10 in Cle Elum. The seven chimps in the sanctuary came here from a biomedical facility in Pennsylvania in 2008. All of them were used in labs to test hepatitis vaccines. Some started out as pets or were used in the entertainment industry, while others were captured in Africa when they were just babies.
