Moving.” —\u003cem\u003ePeople \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003cem\u003eThe Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary\u003c\/em\u003e is an unflinching, visceral look at the emotional and physical damage—actual, real damage done to specific, individual apes—in some of America’s most notorious biomedical research labs. It is also the story of humans who were driven to provide them with refuge, retirement . . . and, ultimately, their inherent right to dignity.” —Sara Gruen, author of \u003cem\u003eWater for Elephants\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIN THE CANADIAN WILDERNESS, Gloria Grow has created a rehabilitation center like none other. Thirteen chimpanzees, rescued from zoos and medical testing laboratories, now call Fauna Sanctuary home. After decades of cruelty and deprivation, these resilient primates are finally free to eat, sleep, play, and roam in peace—all while fighting their personal demons. Primatologist and author Andrew Westoll lived and worked at Fauna one remarkable summer, and \u003cem\u003eThe Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary\u003c\/em\u003e is his poignant testimony to the capacity of these animals to heal—and to learn to be chimps again. This is an absorbing, bighearted story about the species more closely related to us than any other. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“There is plenty of moral outrage in this book, but there is also plenty of wonder . . . Impassioned and well reasoned.” —\u003cem\u003eCleveland Plain Dealer\u003c\/em\u003e | \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“\u003cem\u003eThe Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary\u003c\/em\u003e is a true story of endurance and resilience, compassion, dedication and love. I knew the prison-like conditions of the medical research facility from which Gloria Grow rescued these chimpanzees; when I visited them at their new sanctuary I was moved to tears. Finally they had reached a secure haven where, gradually, they could recover from their years of torment. Andrew Westoll is a born story teller: \u003cem\u003eThe Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary\u003c\/em\u003e, written with empathy and skill, tenderness and humour, involves us in a world few understand. And leaves us marvelling at the ways in which chimpanzees are so like us, deserve our help, and are entitled to our respect.”\u003cbr\u003e—Jane Goodall Ph.D., DBE , Founder – the Jane Goodall Institute \u0026amp; UN Messenger of Peace\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This book will make you think deeply about our relationship with great apes. It amazed me to discover the behaviors and feelings of the chimpanzees.”\u003cbr\u003e—Temple Grandin, author of \u003cem\u003eAnimals in Translation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e“This book is a wonder. Passionate, intelligent, moving and, above all, tremendously important, it illustrates the triumph of the wild spirit and offers surprising hope that the human animal might yet be redeemed. Think of Peter Singer's \u003cem\u003eAnimal Liberation\u003c\/em\u003e and J.M. Coetzee’s \u003cem\u003eThe Lives of Animals\u003c\/em\u003e, and you’ll have some idea of what it is you hold in your hands. It has been a long time since any author has inspired me to such extremes of compassion and humility.”\u003cbr\u003e—Barbara Gowdy, author of \u003cem\u003eThe White Bone\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mariner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44890159677669,"sku":"NP9780547737386","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780547737386.jpg?v=1730232655","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-chimps-of-fauna-sanctuary-a-true-story-of-resilience-and-recovery-isbn-9780547737386","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
