202 Chimpanzees update
August 13, 2010 by Diana -
Watch this recent interview with New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, who just might be my new favorite person: http://apnm.org/news_current_events/2010/govrichardson_koat.php
If you’re in New Mexico, watch KNME at 7:00pm tonight for “New Mexico in Focus.” For those not in New Mexico, the show will be made available online after the weekend.
The KNME show will include a panel discussion about the Alamogordo Primate Facility chimpanzees who are slated to move to a laboratory in San Antonio, Texas. The panel includes State Representative Nate Cote, University of New Mexico Professor Dr. John Gluck, and Animal Protection of New Mexico’s Laura Bonar.
Included in the group of 202 chimpanzees in Alamogordo are Jody, Foxie and Negra’s children. Jody’s son Levi has already been transferred to Texas.
Much of this information comes from the latest update from Animal Protection of New Mexico. Read the entire update here: http://apnm.org/mailbox/aug13_1_10.html We are so grateful to APNM for continuing to work on helping these chimpanzees and for keeping us all informed and letting us know how we can help.

this week’s Time Magazine cover story is about the intelligence of animals … speaking directly about primates, elephants etc … i am so hopeful that this timely Time cover will push this along for our chimpsters in alamogordo … and thank you gene hackman for your voice …
He is a good man and determined to help those chimps. Any friend of chimps is a friend of mine! We have to keep fighting for these chimps. They have done their time and they deserve to retire. It sickens me how blase the NIH is when it comes to their “research subjects”. Too bad they can’t see them for who they are instead of what they want to do to them.
Be sure to watch the New Mexico in Focus program — it’s excellent!
