Newly designed Primate Patrol site! + great post about chimps in entertainment.

January 23, 2010 by Diana

Clocktower Media, Seattle’s leading web design agency, has done it again! First, they redesigned our main website, and yesterday they just completed the redesign of our Primate Patrol site!

Primate Patrol is a program of Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest committed to end the use of great apes in entertainment. Now that our site has an updated look and is integrated with the sanctuary website (it’s under “How You Can Help” on the navigation of our main website), we’ll be updating information and getting more alerts out.

The redesign coincided with an excellent blog posted yesterday by Patrick Battuello about the use of chimpanzees in entertainment aptly titled Shame. Rather than quoting from the post, I encourage you to read it in full here. Thank you, Patrick, for taking the time to write about this subject. And thank all of you for writing letters to producers and directors who have used chimpanzees trained for the entertainment industry. Many people simply need to be informed.

And a big thank you to Clocktower Media for the donated design services. Thanks to you, we’re reaching more people!

GAPA event tonight in Seattle

January 20, 2010 by Diana

Come to this talk with Debra Durham tonight! I’ll be there and will talk about the sanctuary to attendees.

Primatologist Debra Durham, Ph.D., will discuss her work with chimpanzee sanctuaries in Washington and around the world. She’ll also explain why we need to urge Sen. Maria Cantwell to support the Great Ape Protection Act (GAPA), a bill that would prohibit invasive research on chimpanzees and release about 500 chimpanzees to sanctuaries.gapa handout

When: Wednesday, Jan. 20, 7:30 – 9 p.m.
Where: Seattle Library
1000 4th Ave., Level 4, Room 2
Seattle, WA 98104
Tel: 206-386-4636

For more information about the event and how to get involved in advocating for GAPA, please see the Physicians Committee for Responsible medicine website: http://pcrm.org/resch/gapa/involved.html.

Annie Upside Down

January 19, 2010 by J.B.

During playroom cleaning this morning, I decided to grab the camera and film the chimps through the new window. Right away, I caught Missy and Annie in an amusing game of upside down wrestling.

Missy’s icy chase game

January 17, 2010 by Jackie

Yesterday, Missy spent some time outside playing chase with JB. It was a bit of a slippery slope for JB, though! 🙂

Why it’s called enrichment

January 16, 2010 by Diana

Foxie loves troll dolls and seems to always be thinking  of new things to do with them. The video below shows her playing with me this morning. Clearly, the term “enrichment” applies to troll dolls – they certainly do enrich Foxie’s life (and mine as a result).
