The coronavirus pandemic has not only caused major disruptions to the lives of nearly every human being in the world; it has also affected the animal kingdom.
Even though the National Institutes on Health (NIH) officially ended testing in 2015, there are still hundreds of chimps living today that have spent most of their life in labs undergoing tests.
We've just received word that Chimp Haven has been forced to cancel its Spring Fling, set for this Saturday, due to the expected bad weather.
The next Chimpanzee Discovery Day is scheduled for May 16. Sanctuary spokeswoman Ashley Gordon tells us Spring Fling has been moved to that day...
As you know, another chimp has turned up pregnant at Chimp Haven (count 'em, that's THREE unplanned pregnancies!) and the Twin City Knockers are ready to help! They're not specifically trying to stop getting them 'knocked' up, they're just helping in general... but still!
