SAVE THE CHIMPS SANCTUARY

Connor and Kramer are half brothers, males and both are eight years old. They used to be kept by a family as “pets”, until they realized their strength when they became teenagers and found that it was impossible to control them in a house family environment.

Before they were accepted by the sanctuary, the human family had to sign a document committing that they would never buy a primate as a pet anymore. When they arrived at the sanctuary, they were welcomed by the keepers. They have different personalities: Kramer is calm and serious and Connor is agitated.

For now they are alone, enjoying one of the islands of the sanctuary. In the future they will be introduced in a group, to develop the family life they deserve, they stile of life that they should never had been taking out of to be used in human entertainment.
