A research team, led by psychologist Robert Ward of Bangor University, Wales, says that people can usually tell whether or not a chimp acts dominantly and is physically active simply by looking at a picture of the ape's expressionless mug.
The CHIMP Act, signed into law in 2000, provides chimpanzees no longer needed for research with retirement rather than allowing euthanasia.
When the CHIMP Act was introduced, it quickly garnered significant bi-partisan support with 139 cosponsors in the House and 25 cosponsors in the Senate.
