Joey

We are all saddened by the news that Joey from Mole Hall has died. You will remember that just over a year ago we campaigned tirelessly to re-home Joey and Tubman to our sanctuary in Spain but unfortunately the Johnstone family who owned the chimps changed their minds about them being retired with us and decided to send them to Wales.

Joey was a special chimp with a great sense of humour. We will never forget him. Rest in peace dear friend.  I'm afraid that we don't have any details at the moment but we will let you know as soon as we know more.
