Angel, Cody, and Sable - three chimpanzees who for years were exploited and abused by a Hollywood animal trainer - are beginning the new year, and their new lives, in sanctuaries for rescued primates. After one of ALDF's most important and hard- est-fought legal battles, Cody and Sable are enjoy- ing the loving atmosphere of Save the Chimps in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Established in 1997, Save the Chimps is a non-profit organization that will offer Cody and Sable a comfortable setting among fellow chimpanzees who have been rescued from the space program, laboratory research, and other sources. The environment of Save the Chimps was carefully designed to nurture and stimulate these sensitive and complex primates, providing them with a home in which to socialize, build bonds, play, and rebuild the confidence that has been destroyed by years of physical and emo- tional abuse. Moreover, they are at long last being treated with the love they deserve, enjoying not only excellent healthcare, but three meals a day of fresh fruits and vegetables, oatmeal or grits in the morning, and a dinner of pasta salad. Coinciden- tally, Sable's mother and father also live at the Save the Chimps sanctuary. Angel, meanwhile, has a new home at the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula, Florida. On this beautiful, 100-acre sanctuary, Angel is enjoy- ing a life quite different from her previous sad existence of performing for film and public appearances under the threat of physical punish- ment. Since 1993, the non-profit Center for Great Apes has been providing long-term care for retired entertainment chimps, including Angel's mother, Daisy, who was rescued from a circus. The chimpanzees and orangutans at the sanctuary are housed in ten large domed enclosures 34 feet high and surrounded by a tropical forest setting of oak, pine, magnolia, sweet gum, willow, bamboo, guava, mango, and banana trees.
