The collaborative fundraiser / rescue effort that I am leading celebrated a major victory recently, when 6 of the 32 remaining chimpanzees were successfully rehired to accredited sanctuary Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest in Washington.
So much effort went into the day, from the veterinarians ensuring the chimps' health and safety to the transport crew who drove in the trailer (all the way from Georgia!), to the caregivers who had to coax the chimps into their transport cages and then say goodbye, to the fundraising crew who helped raise the dollars to make it all happen... so when we waved the trailer off, loaded up with 6 chimps, there were many relieved tears.
Media coverage continues to roll in, as the story was picked up in markets all up and down the west coast. Highlights of the coverage include:
