"Astonishing . . . Moving." --"People "
""The Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary" is an unflinching, visceral look
at the emotional and physical damage--actual, real damage done to
specific, individual apes--in some of America's most notorious
biomedical research labs. It is also the story of humans who were
driven to provide them with refuge, retirement . . . and,
ultimately, their inherent right to dignity." --Sara Gruen, author
of "Water for Elephants"
IN THE CANADIAN WILDERNESS, Gloria Grow has created a
rehabilitation center like none other. Thirteen chimpanzees,
rescued from zoos and medical testing laboratories, now call Fauna
Sanctuary home. After decades of cruelty and deprivation, these
resilient primates are finally free to eat, sleep, play, and roam
in peace--all while fighting their personal demons. Primatologist
and author Andrew Westoll lived and worked at Fauna one remarkable
summer, and "The Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary" is his poignant
testimony to the capacity of these animals to heal--and to learn to
be chimps again. This is an absorbing, bighearted story about the
species more closely related to us than any other.
"There is plenty of moral outrage in this book, but there is
also plenty of wonder . . . Impassioned and well reasoned."
--"Cleveland Plain Dealer"
