Gloria Grow–co-founder of the Fauna Foundation, a Canadian animal sanctuary located outside of Montreal that began by rescuing and housing companion and farm animals, and subsequently broadened its efforts to also provide sanctuary for retired chimpanzees who had been used in biomedical research–discusses the history & evolution of the sanctuary, with particular emphasis on the decision to take in chimps and the attendant challenges & rewards of that decision as exemplified by the powerfully poignant tale of a chimp named Jean.
