Once rights are established, GAP would demand the release of great apes from captivity; currently 3,100 are held in the U.S., including 1,280 in biomedical research facilities.
Når rettighedserklæringen evt. vil blive vedtaget, vil GAP kræve løsladelsen af menneskeaber fra fangenskab; i øjeblikket holdes 3.100 aber i USA, deriblandt 1.280 til brug i biomedicinsk forskning.
