Cages to Care: Your Advocacy Counts
Our rescue program takes abused and abandoned chimpanzees from lab cages and places them in a nurturing, dignified environment that offers them a secure and meaningful habitat in which to spend the rest of their lives. Our goals include educating others so breeding chimpanzees in captivity stops, chimps are no longer kept as pets and the use of chimps in the entertainment industry ceases. It is our wish that someday all cages will stay empty forever.
New Homes for our Friends Rescued from the Laboratory
Construction is now complete on 11 additional three-acre islands, each linked to a housing and
care center by a land bridge. The natural environment gives the chimpanzees a comfortable home in which to socialize
and rebuild confidence shattered by years spent isolated in small cages. Once our friends settle into their new island refuge, they are in permanent retirement and never have to worry about their future.
Now it is time to move the chimpanzees from New Mexico to their new outdoor homes in Florida, and the retirement
they so richly deserve.
