CHIMPANZEE ATTACK

NGO PETA, through its exotic animal’s director, Dr. Elizabeth Goldentyer, sent an urgent letter to the division of animal care of North-American Agriculture Department asking for a fake sanctuary – Suncoast Primate Sanctuary, in Palm Harbor, Florida – to be closed. A few days ago a chimpanzee attacked a volunteer keeper in the sanctuary.

According to PETA’s letter, this fake sanctuary has a long history of irregularities and mistreating against the animals, that live under very bad conditions and where public visitation is allowed.

PETA’s letter mentions that “the only way to assure that this institution will put an end on animal abusing and on offering risks to the public is closing it”
