Happy Birthday, Bruce!

Our second sponsor for this double day of sanctuary comes from the chimps’ long time friend, supporter and volunteer caregiver, Deb Wagman, in honor of her equally amazing husband, Bruce, for his birthday!

“Bruce is an animal lawyer; for him it is not a job but a calling. He works tirelessly protecting, saving, defending and making life better for almost every type of animal I can think of. Not only was he instrumental in starting CSNW, but continues to work for the seven as a board member and legal advisor.  For the last 2 years he has been negotiating getting hundreds of chimpanzees out of private labs and into a new sanctuary in Georgia. There is nothing more special I can give him for his birthday than a day of sanctuary for his 7 favorite chimps. Happy Birthday, my love!”

Bruce, thank you so much for all that you have done for this sanctuary, as well as the work you are doing for chimpanzees across the country! We hope you have the happiest of birthdays!

    Wow–what an amazing man. Happy Birthday. I hope you are successful in getting more of those medical lab chimps to the Sanctuary.
