Chimpanzees leave Almere for new AAP-home in Spain
Almere/Villena, 27 October 2009 Ten chimpanzees in the care of the Dutch foundation AAP, are to be moved to Spain on November 2 2009.
The chimps, belonging to Donkeys group, have lived at AAPs rescue centre in Almere, the Netherlands, for several years. Now however, they can look forward to a new home in Primadomus, our new rescue centre near the city of Villena in Spain. Primadomus will serve as a lifetime care centre for abused primates that are taken in by AAP and cannot be outplaced in renowned zoos or animal parks. In time, more animals will follow Donkeys group and enjoy the peace and space that this beautiful centre has to offer.

Former circus ape Regina can finally live an ape’s life
Chimpanzee can be a real chimp again at AAP
On Tuesday 30 August Lithuanian chimpanzee Regina arrived at AAP. This 18-year-old female was stolen as a baby from her chimp family in Cameroon. In Lithuania she was forced to perform tricks in a circus for eleven years. When Regina reached puberty and no longer obeyed she, like many other circus animals, was discarded and locked in the basement of the circus master. This is where she spent the past six years in solitude, without any form of distraction or the company of fellow chimps.
