  • Dr Rhys Jones helps Jan and Graham Garen, proprietors of the Wales Ape & Monkey Sanctuary at Caehopkin near Swansea, on an international mission to rescue Billy, a former circus chimpanzee in captivity in Bulgaria. Billy hasn't seen another chimp for fifteen years and, once he has reached his new home, it's a delicate task to ensure he integrates smoothly with the more settled apes. His eventual bonding with new pal Bimbo is heartwarming to see.
    From the BBC series "Rhys To The Rescue".

    I did not expect this story to affect me the way it has. What a heartwarming and joyous conclusion to what has, before now, been a tragic life. Billy is a beautiful old soul, and I have no idea how he has been able to remain so gentle, considering his past treatment. I am so glad he now has a safe home and friends to play and hold onto. My thanks to everyone who made his salvation and sanctuary possible.

    It's nice to see that even after all that neglect and mistreatment the chimp still has faith in humans

    The bond Billy had with humans is so awesome, and even though he belongs with the other chimps, I believe he will have that bond with humans, including the reassurance he needs from the human care takers from time to time.

      Well I mean a sad part is that he probably has that bond with humans because he spent so much of his life at the circus:(which god only knows what horror he saw, most humans wouldn’t want to work in the circus.

    Great video. How do you drive an adult chimpanzee 2000 miles back to the sanctuary? I can't imagine the logistics of that trip.

    Its wonderful that these chimpanzees are rescued from horrible circumstances. The conditions of their care must have been something greatly considered, along with the enormous expense of establishing and running a sanctuary. But the environment you've put the chimpanzees is very cold during winter; one that seems difficult for them to cope with; and alien to their natural tropical environment. There doesn't seem to be respite from the cold other than some blankets they have learned to wrap themselves in. (I haven't seen any videos/view of them having access to any indoor warmed enclosures.) The sanctuary may be protective in some regards but cruel in other ways. (Aware this video is 10 years old and many things may have changed) Your response likely to this: donations speak louder than my words.

      Arvor Pepper how is this sanctuary different than a road side circus. From what I see is their just locket in bigger cages. Chimp eden us a sanctuary, their out climbing trees, running and playing not locked in cages all day on cement floors.They need to be outside in the sun in the day time.

    I thought zoo accreditation organizations, like AZA, required heated winter enclosures for all tropical species, including chimpanzees and gorillas. Most european, japanese, and USA zoos adhere to this standard.
