  • Former research chimpanzees hug and celebrate as they venture outside for the first time! One by one the chimps look outside of their home at Project Chimps, but who would be brave enough to venture out first? Once they got more acquainted with their new surroundings, it was time to play! Project Chimps is a 236-acre sanctuary for chimpanzees that have been used in biomedical research. InsideEdition.com's Keleigh Nealon ( / keleighnealon ) has more. #InsideEdition

    Just to be clear these chimps aren't happy and celebrating. That wide "grin" is a fear grin they do when they're scared and when they hug its not to celebrate. Chimps do that usually when scared to reassure each other since they're scared. They do that hugging a lot when chimps have big fights and the chimps on the same side will hug each other during the fighting to let them know they're on the same side and once again to reassure since there's fear. So these chimps were scared because they had rough lives and thought something bad might happen. But the good news for them is something good is happening.

    I follow these chimps and all others who have been rescued from the deadly, torturous clutches of a cruel life into the loving, peaceful hands of a heavenly one. I understand that some people think the best thing would be to release them back into the wild where there isn't a fence around them, but that would almost be positively a death sentence. Because they have have more than likely been either born in a lab or lived there since they were babies. Because of that they lack everything they need socially and physically to survive in the wild.
