A Great Ape research ban, or severe restrictions on the use of non-human Great Ape s in research, is currently in place in the Netherlands , New Zealand , the United Kingdom , Sweden , Germany and Japan , and has been proposed in Austria . These countries have ruled that s in laboratories, such as Macaque s and Marmoset s. The British newspaper, ''The Independent'', has argued that the "demand for a comprehensive ban by the European Union on experiments involving great apes is surely unanswerable"2 The United States is the world's largest user of chimpanzees for Biomedical Research , with approximately 1,300 individuals currently in U.S. labs. A Washington -state group called Ban Ape Research (BAR) is campaigning to enact an ordinance in Seattle that would prohibit non-human great-ape experiments in that city, which would be the first jurisdiction in the U.S. to take this step.
