I am absolutely thrilled the last of the WAO chimps are finally leaving the WAO prison to move to a new and wonderful home at Chimp Haven. I can't wait to see the chimps in their new home! Now finally they will receive the attention, diet (no junk food please), and medical care they so richly deserve after what they have been through at the WAO! Thank you, Bob Barker for making this relocation possible!

Doc, Pierre, Jojo, Murphy, and Flick are on their way! Joined by their current caregivers and a team from Chimp Haven! The rest of the staff can't wait to meet you boys!
Hopefully, Chimp Haven will tell people the truth that these guys lived at the WAO for about 10 years. Yes, they were used for medical experimentation prior to arriving at the WAO. Last FB posting I caught Chimp Haven in glossing over where they came -- namely the now defunct WAO. These chimps suffered doubly -- first used in HIV medical research and then forgotten at the WAO, left to languish in substandard living conditions.
God speed boys! I pray you will love your new home in Louisiana!
