It is a blow to staff who cared for the chimps for so long and for fans of the zoo. Dan noyes is here with an investigation you will see only on abc7 news. Dan and ama, in public zoo Officials Say sending the chimps away is one of the options being considered. In private police tell me it is a done deal. The chimps are moving because the zoo hasnt made them a priority. The San Francisco zoo has three elderly chimpanzees. Mini and maggie arrived 45 years ago after being caught in the wild. The only male spent 10 years in entertainment, a Circus Television and film before he came to the zoo. He is the oldest male chimp in any american zoo believed to be in his late 50s and well past a chimps normal life span. Our male has arthritis and so he is on glue co saw mean pills. He has a direct connection. He was their keeper for 16 years from the time he arrived at the zoo. This is mini and maggie. He still has their art work. They may now be forced from the only home they have known for decades. Changes are hard on humans. It is extremely hard on chimps, especially males. The San Francisco zoo doesnt have fennel say what final say what happens to the chimps. They are part of the chimpanzee speos see Species Survival plan. We make decisions about which chimpanzees should breed and have babies as well as moving chimpanzees from one accredited zoo to another. It is important for zoos to create chimpanzee groups as they exist in the wild with three adult males and three mature females and thpped off spring. In a case of a zoo like San Francisco it is a small group. What we are looking for is to give them options. San francisco has a choice. Upgrade its aging exhibit to accommodate more animals or send the chimps away to another zoo. The San Francisco zoos marketing director and spokesman. Are you considering spraps perhaps expanding so you can take more chimps . I dont know. That could be an option or it could not. I havent heard that. You heard the one about moving to florida you . I have. They connish ifed an Amusement Park knees West Palm Beach is one contender for the home. It was in the best interest of the chimps we would be happy to help. They have a water park mini golf ferris wheel and campground and a drive drivethru zoo. There is extra space and we have a lot of experience with mixing chimps. To try and introduce him to that situation i think is criminal. He says he has been the only male at the zoo for so long that he foresees problems for the chimp in florida. He just didnt get along. He fights too much. He bothers the trains or cars going through. They will put him to sleep. Oh thats your concern . Yes. Theyll get rid of him. Lion countrys wildlife director told me he would make sure kabi and the girls have enough time to adjust before introducing them to the other chimps, but thats not enough for San Francisco zoo super fan and blogger.
