Gala dinner for chimpanzees
Harmannsdorf secondary school
Every year, the pupils of the Neue Mittelschule Harmansdorf organise a chimpanzee dinner and donor the proceeds to the Gut Aiderbichl monkey sanctuary.
This year the dinner could finally take place on site again.
We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to the dedicated pupils, who will not soon forget this varied evening.
Here you can see a few impressions of the wonderfully varied evening:
Gut Aiderbichl monkey sanctuary
The chimpanzees were captured as babies and often used in the service of research for over 20 years. Since 2009, the animals have been in the care of Gut Aiderbichl and are finally getting back a piece of the life that was so cruelly taken from them.
In the 1970s and 1980s, chimpanzees were in great demand for animal experiments due to their genetic similarity to humans. For research purposes, they were infected with diseases such as HIV and hepatitis. Many died in agony. When the experiments with the animals were stopped in 1997, they were finally saved. The pharmaceutical company financed an exemplary monkey facility in the Gänserndorf Safari Park near Vienna and paid for its upkeep. When the safari park went bankrupt, Gut Aiderbichl took over the facility and the care of the often traumatised chimpanzees.
