Hi, Mom here. Chimps used in laboratory testing got their first taste of "freedom". Their first day outside in 40 years! This was on one of our local TV stations (KOMO) and is an
amazing video.
CLE ELUM, Wash. - Three years ago, seven chimpanzees arrived at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest in Cle Elum - a sort of retirement home for chimps who've been used in laboratory tests their entire lives.The sanctuary survives on private donations, and those donations have now created something entirely new for the chimpanzees. This piece was by By
Eric Johnson. (more info, video & pics are in the link below).
We volunteer with People United for Pets and you will notice a difference in "our" blog. Thanks Ernie,Chica,Lucas, and Sasha.(Ernie,Chica,& Lucas are all with us now thanks to PUP. All 3 are from high kill shelters. Sasha is from a rescue in WA) We wanted to do more so are now including in our sidebar a link to PetFinder for PUP. PUP is one of MANY great shelter/rescues.
Volunteering with rescue has been a fantastic adventure. Hard at times BUT VERY rewarding when an animal furiend finds their furever home!!! We have learned a lot and continue to do so. Thank to all the wonderful volunteers at PUP who work so well together for the good of the rescues.
Thank you also to all of you who visit our blog and care and do SO much for your pets and your fosters. We love you all!!
Mom along with Ernie,Sasha,Chica,Lucas
