202 Chimpanzees update

by

Watch this recent interview with New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, who just might be my new favorite person: http://apnm.org/news_current_events/2010/govrichardson_koat.php

If you’re in New Mexico, watch KNME at 7:00pm tonight for “New Mexico in Focus.” For those not in New Mexico, the show will be made available online after the weekend.

The KNME show will include a panel discussion about the Alamogordo Primate Facility chimpanzees who are slated to move to a laboratory in San Antonio, Texas. The panel includes State Representative Nate Cote, University of New Mexico Professor Dr. John Gluck, and Animal Protection of New Mexico’s Laura Bonar.

Included in the group of 202 chimpanzees in Alamogordo are Jody, Foxie and Negra’s children. Jody’s son Levi has already been transferred to Texas.

Much of this information comes from the latest update from Animal Protection of New Mexico.  Read the entire update here: http://apnm.org/mailbox/aug13_1_10.html We are so grateful to APNM for continuing to work on helping these chimpanzees and for keeping us all informed and letting us know how we can help.

We have submitted as idea for the Justmeans $20,000 Digital Paperless Fundraising Challenge. As you know, we do almost all of our fundraising through our blog and social networking sites – no paper needed, thanks to you! One of our supporters alerted us to this contest for organizations doing just that – raising money without the direct-mail, paper-heavy approach.

We’re perfect for the contest and we have a strong submission focused on our recent Anniversary Fundraising. But we need your votes to get us back in the lead.

We want to win the $5,000 grand prize!

Please vote today and ask all of your friends to vote too. It only takes a minute to sign up and cast your vote for the chimps. You can only vote once, so if you’ve already voted – thank you!
