Help George Now

George!

We are thrilled to have been able to take in a chimpanzee, George, who was recently seized from the West Coast Game Park Safari, a roadside zoo in Bandon, OR.

The investigation into the facility is ongoing, with over 300 animals in total seized.

This rescue effort and additional resources to care for George were not something we had planned for (though we are grateful your support has allowed us to help him!).

Your donations now will help care for George!

Thank you so much.

My life is enriched by supporting these chimps. I have come to know them and love each one individually –– all through the internet. The caretakers are brilliant and loving. They update the supporters via blog posts, photos, and videos of our chimp friends. It is the most fun I have ever had donating to a charity.

Karen Emmerman

I cannot undo what's been done to captive chimpanzees, but I can join other caring people in ensuring they have a loving place to call home for the remainder of their days.

Kathleen Corby

Thank you all for having such vision, determination, wisdom, and hearts so big that they can hold the lives of seven amazing chimpanzees so close and dear. The Cle Elum Seven have changed me. I am grateful. I have been changed for good.

Reach

Chimpanzee gestures carry different meanings depending on the context in which they are delivered. Here we look at the extended arm, or “reach” gesture, which can mean “hello”, “come here”, “give me that”, “hop on my back, it’s time to go”, or “it’s OK to approach me”, among other things.ShareTweetSharePin
