Interesting –
Jamie likes to tease Foxie by taking her beloved prided possession the troll ~
Question for Diana or JR ?
Q/ Is there specific reasons why CSNW – chose to get a Mobile Vet Clinic
instead of of creating and actual – Vets Medical Center Building
equipped with a OR and RR area, etc,
Wouldn’t a building be stronger , built to specifications and long lasting
The main reasons were time and cost. We wanted to be able to have a fully equipped on-site clinic for emergencies and planned procedures as quickly as possible. We are a young organization with a fairly tight budget, and it would have taken quite a while to raise the funds to add a building like you describe. We certainly looked into this option, but in the end we felt that we shouldn’t wait for such an important project. We were able to get a fully operational clinic set up at a fraction of the cost and in a fraction of the time it would have taken to raise the funds and construct a new building. Although this wasn’t as big of a consideration, at the time, other chimpanzees were still living at nearby CHCI, and we thought there might be a possibility of sharing our clinic / equipment with them. We may decide at some point in the future to have the clinic in a permanent structure, but we are very happy and grateful to donors who made it possible to have the fabulous mobile clinic that we have now.
Foxie brings out the kid in Jamie 🙂
That was so amusing! A perfect description too. I couldn’t tell where Foxie started and Jamie ended! I love seeing them have so much fun with each other. I have been so remiss at stopping by for my daily dose of chimpanzee – this was a wonderful piece at which to come back in!
