Hi Friend,

Tonka, a chimpanzee, was found alone in a tiny cage in Tonia Haddix’s basement. He wasn’t allowed to go outside, breathe fresh air, or spend time with other chimpanzees.

Chimp Crazy*, the latest documentary from Tiger King director Eric Goode, tells the story of Tonka and other chimpanzees who are held captive as “pets” in the US. As Tiger King exposed the suffering of big cats in roadside zoos, this film could be a game-changer for nonhuman primates.

Spoiler alert: Tonka’s story has a happy ending. In the conclusion that aired last night on Max, we saw Tonka roaming his lush 3-acre island home at the accredited Save the Chimps sanctuary in Florida with 17 other chimpanzees. But others aren’t so lucky. That’s why we need the Captive Primate Safety Act, which would protect these sensitive animals from being exploited as “pets.”

Please urge your federal legislators to sponsor the Captive Primate Safety Act with one-click today: [link removed]

P.S. This action is for US residents only. If you live outside the US, please help by sharing our alert with your US friends.

*The word “crazy” does not align with World Animal Protection’s values and is used here only to identify the film.

Sincerely,
