    YAY!
    bravo Rachel Abramowitz for writing about this hugely important urgent matter

    this article & new documentary is for all the chimpanzees currently incarcerated in showbiz & for all the ones that didn’t make it into a good sanctuary .. this is also for Arthur Chimpanzee RIP and Apollo Chimpanzee RIP – so very sorry we didn’t know sooner, you are not forgotten

    This is so real, so sad….we need to build more sanctuaries and get them all in a place where they are loved, truly loved!!!!

    As I was readingm I was thinking of Sarah, I bet when you are undercover it is the hardest thing in the world not to take it out on the idiotic people that are abusing the chimps, how do you keep your cool in a situation like that ? I bet you just wanted to take them away from that place and find them s peaceful place, or give them back to their mommies!!!! That was a great article, people need to know, some people just put it in the back of their minds, they never think about it, I think about it 24/7, while I am driving, at work, at home, doesn’t matter, I am always thinking about them, where are they, are they ever going to be free from the prisons they are living in, prayers are all I can do at this time, but I want to help get them out!!!

    This is a very important article….and bravo to Sarah for her undercover work to bring attention to this type of mistreatment. I had to force myself to read the entire article because it is just so heartbreaking…but I need to know. Everyone needs to know. Shelly, you are right…we need to send this to our friends and family, along with Sarah’s testimony in the earlier posting! Thank you, Diana, for this information!
