AMSTERDAM--Eighty-one chimps living at Europe's last remaining ape colony for biomedical research will retire later this year--but not under the Spanish sun, as previously planned.

Last week, the Dutch government said that 28 HIV-infected animals from the Biomedical Primate Research Centre in Rijswijk will go to a facility operated by AAP, a Dutch foundation, as planned. But the government canceled a plan to house 33 healthy chimps in a proposed AAP resort near the Spanish coast after the idea met with local opposition (Science, 27 August 2004, p. 1227). Instead, they will go to a "safari park" in Hilvarenbeek, the Netherlands. The remaining 20 healthy animals will go to a zoo in Amersfoort.
