I think it is important that we maintain the gene pool of the species," Dr. Grimes said. He expressed concern about a proposed French AIDS research lab to be located inAfrica. Such a facility would eventually deplete the wild primate population. “If the species is laboratory reared, then my concern is with its treatment," Grimes said. He staled that laboratory animals should be treated with care, in part because the experiment may be ruined if the animal is stressed. He believes that all animals should be humanely treated, not just cute, furry animals that tend to be emphasized by animal rights groups. There is no ideal replacement to animals in some teaching situations. However, instructors are now being challenged to reduce their animal usage. Students and faculty are questioning long standing traditional teaching methods. As a result, fewer animals are used, and those who use them are working harder to treat the animals humanely.
