A message of gratitude from Tobin!

November 27, 2025 by Katelyn

Thank you, Tobin, for starting the sanctuary’s day of celebration and gratitude by sponsoring this lovely day of sanctuary!

“On this feast of Thanksgiving, there is much for which I am grateful. As always, I am thankful for those who work to provide this sanctuary home for the cattle and chimpanzees, who provide them excellent care and a beautiful land upon which they may live, and live in abundance.

I am grateful for all those who endeavored to bring George to his new home, where he enjoys a new life, with good nutrition, new friends, and only minimal interference from an inspector from the USDA.

And, finally, I am grateful for htat ‘one wild and precious life’, which was lived so well by Jane Goodall. As a scientist and as an activist, I think that there is a connection between her mission and vision and the gift of sanctuary which the CSNW provides to its residents. 

Thank you, Dr. Goodall. And, my gratitude to all of you.” 

Beautiful Lucky:
