Review for Chimp Haven, Keithville, LA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Chimps that were once used, abused, and treated as "test dummies" are welcomed here with open arms, to live out their lives as naturally as possible. They are so incredibly well cared for! My husband and I were privileged to be able to visit this amazing sanctuary in April 2013 for the Chimp, Chat and Chew event, where we took a tour of the grounds, and got to see so many beautiful chimpanzees - young, old, and in between, enjoying their days "foraging" for fruit (the staff places treats out in the open spaces so the chimps can find it), scaling trees, lounging about, grooming, playing... There's also a "termite mound" that the staff fills with jelly or other yummy treats, and the chimps find the right twig or stick to pull out the rewards! How awesome!! There are plenty of interior spaces and exterior spaces for these loves to live a good life. May God bless Chimp Haven!

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Nothing, except getting more attention shed on them!! They're fantastic!!!!
