Top 10 sanctuary videos from 2020

December 31, 2020 by Anna

The year has been tough for sure but it definitely hasn’t been all bad, especially for the 10 chimpanzees and 4 cattle that call the sanctuary home.

Join me as I count down my top 10 favorite blog videos of the year.  What was your favorite sanctuary moment from 2020? What video did I miss?

10) The Californians vs a roll of raffle tickets. A timeless classic!

9) Our positive reinforcement training program came in handy during 2020

8) Honey B’s special birthday gift!

7) A peek behind the scenes with our busy staff

6) Jamie’s after work adventures

5) A special message from Jane to kick off our online HOOT! gala!

4) Jody’s Halloween haul

3) A casual cattle drive

2) This video of Jody and Burrito, because it truly conveys the sense of relief we all felt after Burrito’s scary snake bite incident.

1) Willy B wins the top spot for his remarkable courage this year.

 

Cheers to the new year and many more videos to come!

Happy Birthday to Margaret!

December 31, 2020 by Diana

Today we have another sponsor-a-day in honor of the one and only Margaret, also known as artist Margaret H. Parkinson, creator of many amazing paintings, including the now iconic Negra in the Sun.

Negra in the Sun by Margaret H Parkinson

This painting has been recreated on stickers, wine bottle labels, and canvas prints for supporters, and also has inspired other artists like Tamara Burgess, who handmade a necklace that included this image and Lisa Wathne, who made a glass mosaic piece inspired by Margaret’s painting for the 2019 gala.

Margaret and her wife Karen have been supporters since before the chimpanzees even arrived and are wonderful friends to all animals (the human ones too) at the sanctuary.

She inspires all of us in so many ways with her warmth, compassion, quick wit, and curiosity about the world. Monica Best wanted to honor Margaret with warm birthday wishes with a sponsor a day on this last day of 2020.

Here is the original photo that inspired Margaret and some other takes on Negra in the sun:
