This link leads to an article about the victim of a 2008 attack from a pet chimpanzee who lived in Connecticut. She is suing the state for a large sum of money, claiming that they knew the chimpanzee was a safety threat but overlooked his presence. Although this was a tragic and unforunate event, it could have been avoided. This is why non-human primates should not be kept as pets. Here's hoping that this brings about legal changes that prohibit the keeping of primates as pets!
1. We almost got rained out on Saturday at the Norman Bird Sanctuary's Harvest Fair, but met some great people and we were able to spread the word about us! Luckily, Sunday was better and was a busier day at the fair. Thank you to our volunteers Veronica, Erin, and Cynthia for making it happen!

The link above is from a story on ABC News. There's a new show on TLC about people who keep monkeys as pets, raising them basically as surrogate children. We are so saddened to see these wonderful primates living such unnatural lives in homes with humans, and we are fully aware that they will end up needing sanctuary when they grow up. Hopefully, there are no tragic violent stories anywhere close to what happened this past year in Stamford, CT when a pet chimpanzee mauled a friend of his owner's. We are spreading the word about this ridiculous TLC show in the hopes that media exposure will help educate people about the reality behind these stories. Primates should not be kept as pets, period.

Please join us in boycotting this show that will glorify this unhealthy, unethical, and dangerous trend.
