Tonight (Sunday) is the 25th anniversary of PBS’s Nature series, and to celebrate, the channel is airing Chimpanzees: An Unnatural History.

Chimpanzees “provides a sobering glimpse into their use in science and entertainment” and features three groups that work to save our closest relatives from experimentation: Save the Chimps, the Fauna Foundation, and the Center for Great Apes.

Want to do your part to liberate these primates from laboratories? Ask the government to stop funding animal research, and e-mail the National Center for Research Resources about instituting a permanent moratorium on the breeding of chimps.

Chimpanzees: An Unnatural History airs at 8 p.m. ET tonight. Check here for your local listings.

   Just saw this film. The people working for the retired chimpanzees are inspiring. They work tirelessly with great passion for the animals. The individual stories are so heartbreaking. I’m glad this film was made. Difficult to watch and worse to know that the horrors continue. The ending with Tom in the tree was beautiful. –Debbie
