Vanilla the chimp, who survived a grisly lab experiment programme, looked delighted as she arrived at the sanctuary
This is the heartwarming moment when a chimpanzee survivor of a grisly laboratory experiment programme saw the sky in her new home for the first time. Vanilla the chimp looked delighted as she arrived at the sanctuary in Fort Pierce, Florida.
According to advocates for the animal Project R&R, chimps like Vanilla were denied outdoor access and kept in small cages. Vanilla lived there until she was two before she was taken to a much larger enclosure, the Wildlife Waystation in California. "From Orlando, Pero Family Farms generously drove us to the sanctuary in a climate-controlled semi-truck. It took a lot of devoted people to make our move to Florida possible and now I look forward to calling this my forever home."
Top news stories today Dr Andrew Halloran, who is a Save the Chimps’ primatologist, told the New York Post that her new enclosure was a big improvement on what Vanilla had experienced before she moved to Florida.
