Sanctuary is life-changing for the nonhuman animals who are our clients.
Sanctuary is life-changing for the nonhuman animals who are our clients.
When they are imprisoned, they suffer the way any autonomous being would
when deprived of all choice and anything resembling a natural life.
That is why we are thrilled our clients Hercules and Leo—the first nonhuman
animals in the world to have a habeas corpus hearing, with the story of
their suffering brought out of the shadows by our litigation—are now
enjoying their autonomy at Project Chimps sanctuary. Our Director of
Government Relations Courtney Fern and Executive Director Kevin Schneider
recently visited Project Chimps, as Courtney writes about in this new blog
post. Courtney and Kevin are happy to report that, after years spent as
research subjects in a basement lab, Hercules and Leo are flourishing.
Sometimes a photo says it all. Here is a photo of Hercules seemingly deep in
thought as he enjoys the sunshine, fresh air, and greenery.
