SAVE THE CHIMPS SANCTUARY

Vicky and Billy lived for years in separated cages, at the backyard of a family house in the North of Florida. Environmental state authorities have confiscated the chimpanzees and asked for the sanctuary in Fort Pierce to home them.

Although it was not part of the plan, as long as the chimpanzees who were at Arizona are still migrating to Florida, the same transportation of the migration took them at the house they used to live and brought them to the day-by-day life with their equals at Fort Pierce Sanctuary.

Vicky and Billy are already in one of the islands for the first time, for the first time after a lot of years, walking on the grass and able to do grooming to one another with no interference of a fence. Soon they will be presented to other chimpanzees to make part of a big family and they already let the infamous past behind.

Each chimpanzee costs USD 15 thousand to the sanctuary per year. Both have already been put inside fundraising campaigns to support them for all their lives. Help the

sanctuary, visit the website www.savethechimps.org and collaborate to maintain these two mew guests
