What Made You Smile Today?

[perspicacious]

Listening to my tween telling me a story about her day and she was talking so fast that I did the parental head nod and 'uh huh' sound every once in a while. Then she asked me for advice on her issue... Oops, got caught not listening!

Sanctuaries across the U.S. are preparing for an influx of retired private lab chimps like Foxie now the federal government has stopped backing experiments on humankind's closest relatives. Their challenge will be finding the room and resources to house and rehabilitate the animals.

About 700 chimpanzees remain in government and private labs. The National Institutes of Health last month announced its final timeline for chimps in government custody, saying all 360 remaining animals will be transferred to Chimp Haven, a Louisiana sanctuary, by 2026.

For the 300 or so chimps in private laboratories, negotiations are underway with various sanctuaries, said Kathleen Conlee, who focuses on animal research issues at The Humane Society.

About 220 chimps will be housed at Project Chimp, a facility in northern Georgia. The latest transfer happened this month, with nine chimps moving to their new home.

Poor Bambi!

It is said that Sitka deer on Haida Gwaii have no gamey taste. We never got to try one, but the sight of a Sitka deer eating apples on Malcolm Island made me smile.
