I had to have my 16-year-old cat put down a couple weeks ago. He had cancer. The vet was about as kind and compassionate as I could possibly wish: she even hydrated him so his last moments would be more comfortable. So I don't think it's an easy call for a judge to overrule the vets, who most likely love these animals. Chimps are vicious to each other, and especially to older chimps, as far as I know.
