Hey, I want to say thanks for your courage and efforts, and putting the well-being of the chimps first. I know you’ve sacrificed a lot and it has all affected your mental health. I really admire you and know the chimps would be so grateful for what you are doing for them.
I have a hard time understanding the people in charge of the decisions and the celebrities and higher ups that support them. These are people that have helped animals in some way or another or have dedicated their lives and careers to helping animals, vegan celebrities that seem to really care about animals, etc. How can they ignore evidence presented to them? Why wouldn’t they question any of the official statements? Why wouldn’t they see the support and pressure from the public and at least take 5 minutes to look into things? Why not even give you the chance to talk to them for 5 minutes to hear directly from you?
Is it purely money and status? When you get to that point of being rich and famous do you stop caring?
It just blows my mind. I can’t comprehend it.
If I were a celebrity supporter of an organization or sanctuary, SPECIALLY if I had let them use my image and financially and vocally supported them and someone who worked there came out and wanted to talk to me and show me evidence that there is something wrong and the animals could be suffering or not properly being cared for I would want to listen, I would want to say...hey I’ve supported this sanctuary but it has come to my attention that they are not doing enough, they need to be held accountable!
What’s so hard about doing that?!
It makes me wonder how many organizations and sanctuaries know about these types of situations and don’t say anything, or how many actually are similar or worse.
What are some ways we can be as sure as we can be that we are supporting good and ethical organizations and sanctuaries?
