November 19, 2010 by Diana

New England Anti-Vivisection Society’s Project R&R has obtained a few photos through their Freedom of Information Act request.

Below is a photo of Heidi, Negra’s daughter, who is still at the Alamogordo Primate Facility (see post from earlier today)

    Heidi is so beautiful. She has a sad look in her eye. I want her to come and live here with her mother.

    Margaret and karen that just what we said straight away how lovely but sad her eyes are it would be such a beautiful thing if it was possible to reunite mothers with their youngsters in the future

    I’m wondering if Negra would know or recognize her.

    Oh, she is so gorgeous and yes, those eyes say a lot. She so looks like her mum!

    Heartbreaking! She looks so sad. It would be incredible if she could be reunited with Neggie!

    When i look at this beautiful baby chimp, my heart breaks and my faith in some of the so called human beings makes me ashamed to be of the same species.How is it that in this day and age,some of us have to fight battles with others over human decency towards Gods other creatures.I feel so very helpless by not being able to do enough.I know what i would like to do, but i can’t write it down, it would probably get me in trouble. It is wonderful that some of us truly care and that the chimps will have the climbing polls to enjoy.Thanks for putting up with my rant,i guess i am to emotional.

    It’s called passion, Lynne. Passion for these and all other chimps that we all want to live like they should, in a family with their own kind, free to make choices. We all feel helpless at times and feel like we aren’t doing enough but always remember, one person does make a difference.

    I know we’ll never know, but I wonder if the mother chimps remember their children by smell, knowing they only have them for a short time.

    I think everyone wonders that. I hope one day we can find out.
    Yes those eyes got to me too. They do so much look like Negra’s eyes. They are expressive and beautiful.

    How old is Hedi? She is beautiful. yes sad eyes. that is why I always say the the 7 in your sanctuary look so happy. Do you have room for more ? Let us all pray that one day soon we will no longer have chimps held in labs and not treated in a manner such as the 7 are loved and taken care of at your sanctuary. God bless all of these beautiful creations.

      Kathy, Heidi was born 01-08-1984 so that makes her 26 years old.

    A few years ago I probably would have said that it was extremely unlikely for a chimp to know their offspring years later if they were taken at birth. I think about whether humans would know their child given up for adoption at birth. But there is a story of a chimp who was rescued from an animal trainer and put into a group that included her mother at Save the Chimps. They apparently screamed and ran into each others arms. That doesn’t mean that kind of recognition would happen in all cases, but it’s possible.

    The last time I saw Heide was in Sept. of 1990. She was using me as a tree as I cleaned. She loved giving kisses.

    Yes, I think Negra would know her. They were housed across the aisle and within sight of each other all off 1989 and 1990.
