Foxie and the paparazzi

May 15, 2009 by Diana

Today I felt a bit like a chimpanzee sanctuary paparazzi. This first set of photos shows Foxie yawning – I just thought they were cute. The second though are spy-like photos of Foxie lying in a nest!! I was at the chimp house late and I caught her in an actual chimp nest (sheets and all!) way up in the corner of the catwalk. This is very exciting. If there were a chimpanzee sanctuary tabloid, I think the Foxie nesting photos would make the cover.

Get ready for it – the first real photos of Foxie settling down into a comfy nest of sheets. I don’t know if she made the nest or was borrowning one that someone else made.

She caught me taking photos, but didn’t seem to mind.

I know this is blurry, but sometimes that’s all we sanctuary paparazzi can get. Foxie is holding a troll doll in her left hand and a long-handled brush in her right.

Oprah sending a dangerous message

May 15, 2009 by Sarah

Oprah had a baby chimpanzee and baby orangutan on her show today. She does a lot of great things for animals (including this about our good friends at ALDF!), but unfortunately she and her producers were misguided about this issue. The orangutan and chimpanzee were provided by TIGERS, a facility known for purchasing and breeding “exotic” animals, as well as providing them for film and TV. Please give the Oprah folks some feedback: both that this choice was a mistake and that they should use their power to shine light on true chimpanzee sanctuaries. For talking points, visit our Primate Patrol site.
