Ingrid | Chimpanzee

Most of the ex-laboratory chimpanzees were stolen from the jungle as baby monkeys and had to watch their families being killed. Once they arrived in Austria, they were kept in an experimental laboratory for 30 years, without contact with other apes in a very small space. Animal experiments on great apes have been banned in…

Jelle | Chimpanzee

Jelle lived in a Dutch zoo in a group of over 20 chimpanzees. Unfortunately, he killed some chimpanzee babies there and attacked the chimpanzee mothers, presumably due to power struggles. He would have been euthanized as a result. His last chance was with us in the male group. But here too, Jelle inflicted serious injuries…

She was snatched from her family and mother in the wild and was sent to an animal experiment in 1986. From then on, she lived in isolation in a cage. In 1995, she was force-fed to a male and gave birth to Alfred in 1996 as a captive in the experimental laboratory. When Alfred died…

Blacky | Chimpanzee

Blacky is one of the most traumatized chimpanzees in the male group. When stress arises in the group, he is still very scared - then he beats himself. When Blacky was one year old, he experienced the worst thing that can happen to a chimpanzee child. The loss of his mother and a murderous attack…

Gogo | Chimpanzee

His origins are described quite simply as "tomboy". That was in 1976, when he was just two years old. That's when he suffered the same fate as the other baby monkeys. Bullets flew through the air, a crate lid slammed shut - off to the laboratory. In 2002, he moved with the others from the…

Martha | Chimpanzee

For Michael Aufhauser, it was Martha who ultimately persuaded him to agree to the takeover. When he looked into Martha's eyes during his visit, he was deeply touched and recognized her grief. He already knew her biography. When she was less than a year old, she experienced the attack by ape traders in her home…
