I'm not so naive to think animal testing is completely unavoidable... it's one of those "necessary evils" things that really throws a wrench into someone's beliefs.

But chimpanzees aren't "animals," in the colliquial sense. As far as I'm concerned, a chimpanzee is a human, or at least close enough that it deserves the full rights and treatment afforded to a human.
