Our local zoo has a chimp living in bad conditions/My neighbor has a pet chimp living in his backyard/There is a lab in my town with chimpanzees. Can you rescue them?
A. Save the Chimps has no authority to confiscate chimpanzees from other facilities. We can only accept chimpanzees who are willingly and permanently transferred to us by their owners. If the owner of a chimp living in poor conditions is not willing to give up that chimp, there is nothing Save the Chimps can do. Individuals or organization with chimps who wish to transfer them to us are welcome to contact Save the Chimps to discuss the possibility. However, there is no guarantee that Save the Chimps will be able to accept the chimp(s) in question.
