I often marvel at the love the chimpanzees receive from friends and loved ones. To think they spent so many years unknown to so many and now they fill so many hearts and lives the world over. Manuela Santacreu sponsored this day of sanctuary as a gift for herself and Annie, Burrito, Foxie, Jamie, Jody, Missy and Negra and sends this lovely message about today:

“Pour mon anniversaire, parce qu’il n’y a rien de plus beau que le bonheur simple de savoir ces chimpanzés heureux ! bravo à vous tous! ‘For my birthday, because there is nothing more beautiful than the simple happiness of knowing these happy chimpanzees! Congratulations to you all!'”

Manuela, thank you so much for sharing your celebration with the chimps! We appreciate the lasting difference your support makes in their lives. All of the primates here at CSNW wish you the happiest of days!

    These are more than spectacular if there is such a thing. These picture of this magnificent chimp are mesmerizing. I can’t stop looking!

      It really is amazing, Kathleen, isn’t it? Yes, in a previous post there was a comment from Nadia in Rome! 🙂 My Italian is rusty but it translates roughly to: “Greetings from Rome – Thank you for all you do for these wonderful creatures. Your love is so great that you have gotten here! Congratulations!”
      🙂

    Happy Birthday Manuela! (Birthday wishes were in French, Kathleen, but Manuela is an Italian or Spanish name, I think.) Even if it’s Klingon, everyone that loves the chimps is welcome, and those that don’t — YET! I love the quote you added in your post.

    Why are chimp feet so cute?
