We’re sending our gratitude to Ellen Gaies for kindly sponsoring this second day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees in memory of David Rutter, who recently passed away.

“In memory of David Rutter… forever in our hearts.”

Our heartfelt condolences go out to all who love and miss David. We’re honored to have the chimpanzees included in the beautiful work and legacy David shared with the world.
