faunachimps: This is Rachel, a 30 year-old chimpanzee who lives at Fauna. Prior to coming to the sanctuary in 1997, Rachel endured 11 years in isolation as a research laboratory subject enduring horrendous treatments, including being anesthetized 235 during testing for artificial sweeteners for NutraSweet. Although she will never likely recover from the emotional trauma of this chapter of her life, she is now out of harms-way and gets to hang-around out in the sunshine blowing bubbles!

I saw a poster for a lecture on some Lemurs, by a Dr. Woman-I-can’t-remember-the-name-of, in my town, with an opportunity to talk with her afterwards.

I got really excited because this sort of thing NEVER happens ANYWHERE near me let alone my own town.

I went there (and I was late so I had to eat my dinner super fast and then walk-run)

and when I got there

the hall was locked so I wandered around for a while

and then

I found out it isn’t until next weekend and I read the date wrong

so I looked like an idiot.

):

BUT I am going to this exhibition tomorrow! Really looking forward to it. I love love love The Natural History Museum, I grew up in London and used to go there most weekends, but I haven’t been there for ages now. :)

I also found out about a 3 day course about the husbandry, care and rehabilitation of rescue primates. I want to do it, but it is in Holland…Should I get a train to the docks, get a night ferry, then a train through Europe, while I am skint, have no idea what I’m doing, and am terrified of travelling by myself? Or not?
