Happy Birthday, Ben Bradshaw!

August 15, 2024 by Katelyn

Thanks so much to long-time friend of the sanctuary, Laura Bradshaw, for sponsoring a day of sanctuary for all the amazing individuals who call the sanctuary home in celebration of her son, Ben, on his birthday!

“Happy Birthday to my son Ben on August 15th. He’s a big fan of ALL of the primates, bovines, canines and felines who live and work at CSNW. The blog is a great part of our day as we catch up with individuals we’ve come to know and care about.”

We love this message! Thank you so much for following the chimpanzees’ (and their neighbors’) lives, but also for including them in your own. Ben, we hope you have the best birthday!

    Well, Ben, I hope that your birthday is as enjoyable as these photographs, even if you refrain from emulating Burrito and chomp on your friend’s brow-ridge.
