animals are property - this property was contracted to move into facility X. Failure to do so is a contract breach.

- joxel 4y agoI guess the fact that treating the animals like property leads to unwanted effects begs the question on whether we should be treating animals as property. Clearly there is a difference between an animal and an inanimate object. We have animal welfare and cruelty laws, etc. While this may be legal, whether it is ethical is a more important question. Seems to me it’s time to update the laws that describe living beings the same way as pencils.
- PhasmaFelis 4y agoThis is true but not really relevant, in a "you're in an airplane" sort of way.[1] The chimps in question have no remaining value as property; both parties involved are acting out of their perception of what's best for the animals.

- kelnos 4y agoNo, this has nothing to do with contracts or property. A federal law enacted with the intention of protecting post-experimental chimps requires labs (regardless of their other contractual obligations) to relocate chimps to a government sanctuary upon retirement.
