Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes)
Some months ago whilst convalescing from a pretty nasty case of food poisoning I watched Chimp Empire on Netflix, and I thought it was amazing. Chimp society sometimes appears very unnecessarily violent and cruel (not unlike ours), yet there were moments in the series where I was deeply moved with how closely knit and empathetic those chimp families could be towards each other. Again, not unlike us.
Naturally, I grew very fond of Gus, the socially awkward chimp, so I had to draw him.
Hi, guys! We need your help!
So I'm from Germany and there is this really cool project called "Gut Aiderbichl". These people save all kinds of animals in all of Europe. They have lots of farms and other facilities where they bring the animals to and then the rescued animals can live there forever. Only problem: They live of donations. And now one of their biggest projects is running out of money! They saved 34 chimpanzees ... 34 lab apes! It costs 680.000 € per year to feed and care for the chimps. Gut Aiderbichl used to get financial support but soon this support will stop and they'll have to get the 680.000 € only with donations. I'm very worried that they won't be able to get that money and God knows what will happen to the chimps then!
You can find them on the internet. Please help and donate!
