Cuteness Overload

by

Burrito definitely loves playing with his human friends (and we love playing with him!) but I really like seeing Burrito play with other chimps. He and Foxie play pretty frequently– I would suspect that of the chimps, Foxie is his best friend. But he and Missy play sometimes too. I caught them in a rambunctiously goofy play session this morning in the greenhouse. They were so caught up in their silliness that neither of them even noticed me taking photos through the glass window in the playroom.

Take Action (Tuesday?)

by

Perhaps our catchy title was a bit optimistic. But here’s your quick take action tip of the week. On September 5th, a week from today, the working group addressing the issue of government funded research on chimpanzees will meet to prepare its recommendations (due out in the early part of 2013). Visit this link to send a quick note to the members of the working group encouraging them to recommend permanent retirement for all government owned and supported chimpanzees. There are many like Negra, Jamie, Foxie and the rest of our bunch sitting in labs waiting for you to speak up for them.
