Happy Valentine’s Day, Matt!

February 14, 2020 by Katelyn

This lovely day of sanctuary was sponsored by Sharon Langone for her husband, Matt Langone!

“Happy Valentine’s Day to my husband, Matt! We both love the work the team does at the sanctuary on Valentine’s Day and all year round- so it seemed fitting!”

Sharon and Matt, thank you so much for your support of the chimpanzees and cattle who call Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest home! We so appreciate your love for them and all of us here wish you a beautiful day filled with all, and who, you most love.

Chimpanzees “hug” and “kiss” all the time. And while it’s nearly impossible for us humans not to equate these gestures with our own human equivalents, in chimp lingo they are typically gestures of greeting and reassurance. But I don’t believe there is any less heart behind them. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! (Naturally, be sure to tune in later for the chimps’ party đŸ™‚ ).

    Wow! These photos absolutely made my day. I mean it. It really was going quite poorly; until I sat down at my desk and opened up today’s blog. Each picture is just glorious in its own way.
    Happy Valentine’s Day to my chimp and bovine friends, CSNW staff, volunteers and supporters.

    Not that different from us. Who hasn’t kissed your mother or friend on the cheek in greeting? Or hug and kiss a close friend or family member in times of stress or disappointment?
