Comfort

June 4, 2012 by Elizabeth

A few nights ago while the chimpanzees were being served dinner in the greenhouse, I entered the playroom for a quick spot clean and found this nest in Negra’s current favorite spot in the loft. The photos really don’t do it justice. It was about four feet wide and beautifully put together. The next morning when we (reluctantly) deconstructed it during cleaning, we counted 23 blankets! It was only four years ago that Negra and the other chimps were sleeping on bare concrete in the lab. To Negra, I think sanctuary means comfort.

Congratulations, Sharon!

June 4, 2012 by Elizabeth

Sharon Discorfano has sponsored today to commemorate her graduation from law school at the University of Arizona.  While in school, Sharon served as Co-Director of her campus chapter of the Student Animal Legal Defense Fund.  After hearing CSNW’s own Sarah Baeckler and various other primatologists speak about the plight of chimpanzees, Sharon was inspired to write her substantial paper on laws regarding chimpanzees in research (check out a blog post she wrote based on her paper here).  After graduation, Sharon will be working in the field of animal law.  Sharon wants to thank Sarah, the other sanctuary staff, and the Cle Elum Seven for the inspiration, and we want to thank Sharon for sponsoring today for the chimps and for her continued work on behalf of all chimpanzees!

This photo of Negra worshipping the sun had a particular impact on Sharon (it’s one of my favorites, too):
