Animal Welfare

Laughter

October 20, 2009 by Diana

The seven chimpanzees living at CSNW are the most playful group I’ve ever met. You would think they were kids the way they play and laugh. As all of you who follow the blog know, Foxie in particular has a kid-like disposition (at least she does now that she’s in sanctuary!) Jamie, on the other hand, can often be very serious. But Foxie is able to bring out the kid in Jamie too, as you’ll see in the video below.

One interesting thing that we’ve observed is that the chimpanzees seem to play wrestle more in the front rooms than any other location within the building. Perhaps it feels like a more private location for wrestling?

Isa Moskowitz, chef for the chimpanzees?

October 20, 2009 by Diana

The Apron Activists benefit dinner on Friday in Portland was fantastic! But you don’t have to take my word for it, the Cle Elum Seven benefited from some of the leftover Butternut Rissoto (complete with cashew creme, roasted brussels sprouts and toasted hazelnuts). The chimps food grunted like crazy and licked the bowls clean – only slightly different than what the humans did at the benefit dinner. Thank you Isa Moskowitz and all of the Apron Activists!

Apron Activists benefit dinner

October 16, 2009 by Diana

The Apron Activists, made up of the wonderful folks at the vegan mini-mall in Portland, OR (SweetPea Baking Company, Food Fight, Herbivore, Scape Goat Tatoo) and Isa Chandra Moskowitz, chef and author of the best vegan cookbooks out there, are putting on a benefit dinner for the sanctuary Friday night in PDX.

The dinner is sold out, but don’t let that stop you from drooling over the menu. Check it out on the Post Punk Kitchen blog, and browse some of the great recipes while you’re there.

I’ll see you there if you managed to get your ticket before it was sold out!

Annie and Missy are at it again

October 15, 2009 by Elizabeth

The weather in Cle Elum has been pretty wet and gloomy for the last couple of days, so the chimps have chosen to spend more time than usual inside. Annie and Missy are in good spirits, though, and are making the best of the situation.

Games, games, games

October 14, 2009 by Elizabeth

Recently, Jamie invented a new game that we have dubbed, formally and officially, the “slappy swingy game”. Jamie cannot get enough of this game, perhaps because it requires her caregivers to run around and act ridiculous…

Grooming in style

October 11, 2009 by Elizabeth

Burrito and Missy spent some time grooming each other this morning while we were cleaning the playroom.
