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.

Sitas' spring
During the one and a half year Sita is living in Primadomus shelter in Spain, she had not been outside yet. Our handicapped lady was too afraid to make the descent through the passage from the indoor to the outdoor enclosure. Additionally she grabbed the live wire that protects the passage at one time, so Sita definitely made up her mind: never would she enter the unknown outside world.

AAP saves chimpanzee Mojo from being killed
Chimpanzee spends nearly 30 years in loneliness
Almere, march 21 2011- AAP receives a new resident today: chimpanzee Mojo. The 37 year old Mojo was confiscated from the home of an elderly woman, who kept the animal almost his entire life in a dark, highly polluted garage box. The woman can´t take care of herself anymore, let alone take care of an adult chimp. Because of this, Mojo did not see any daylight anymore, often did not get any food and could only keep himself alive with mouldy and decayed food. Even more tragic is the fact that the woman had decided that Mojo should be killed when she would die.
