Chimps freed after 30 years in a lab

I'm sorry if it's been posted already.
Basically the Chimps have been in a lab being tested on for 30 years for HIV/aids. After 30 years nothing was ever found to help HIV/aids so the Chimps went through it for pretty much nothing.
It's not particualarly (sp) a upsetting video as it's them seeing the sunlight for the first time.
I'd like to say two Chimps do hug and it was not celebration like stated but because they were scared (i know i would be, being in a tiny cage), you can tell they were scared as they were showing their teeth. Still amazing to see though

This is the story

This is the video (there is a link on the Daily Mirror website to it)

I have tears streaming down my face watching that !!

You could see the sadness in the chimps face in the photo of him in the cage. Its hard to imagine that this is STILL happening !!

Its so heartwarming that they are now free from that situation

Saw this yesterday so sad, but hope they enjoy the rest of their lives in peace doing what they are meant to do (not being abused for our gain.) We all know many more animals never get this chance.

It is actually one of the few things which make me cry, whether they were scared or not with the way they were running around they were definately happy.
It is such ashame it still happens to much though

Great that they have been given a new life but so sad that they were lad animals in the first place.

Out dated, cruel practice testing on animals and just not needed anymore. But still it goes on
