Episode Details

Hundreds of West African chimps once used in hepatitis B vaccine research in Liberia are now getting a second chance at life—undergoing full health check-ups, dental work, X-rays, and even pedicures at a sanctuary. These animals, many snatched from the wild as infants, endured invasive experiments and lasting harm. Now, under the care of Humane World for Animals since 2015, they’re being assessed for long-term health impacts, with results still pending. Their story is a sobering reminder of the lifelong toll research can take on animals—and the urgent need for compassion after science ends.
