After serving as subjects of biomedical experiments, these weary chimpanzees are headed to a better life in the world's largest chimp sanctuary.
The morning began like so many others for the last 10 chimpanzees stranded at the shuttered Wildlife Waystation in the Angeles National Forest: whiling away the hours, spinning around and around, pushing toys across concrete floors and peering through the bars of their cages.
The scene unfolded when caretakers used monkey chow biscuits to coax eight of the chimps into special shipping containers. The pens were then loaded onto a truck and trailer specially outfitted to transport them 1,600 miles to Chimp Haven in Keithville, La., a 200-acre facility caring for over 300 chimpanzees, most of them retired from research labs.
“The other chimps will teach these newcomers how to climb trees and not be afraid of natural substrate such as grass,” said Raven Jackson, 41, chief veterinarian at Chimp Haven. “It’s a beautiful thing to behold as they evolve into a semblance of their natural selves.” The final spiral downward followed extensive damage caused by the 2017 Creek fire and again during subsequent extreme flooding requiring insurmountable funding to meet current regulatory standards.in 2019, triggering an emergency collaboration among the California Department of Fish and Wildlife; Kate Thompson, the last board member of the Wildlife Waystation; and the nonprofit North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance.
