How A Lincoln Park Zoo Expert’s Research On Saving Apes Led To A Ban On Greeting Cards Featuring Costumed Chimps

 CVS will stop selling greeting cards featuring great apes in unnatural positions, which advocates say will reduce mistreatment of the animals and help conservation efforts.

LINCOLN PARK — National chains are banning greeting cards that feature unnatural images of apes, hoping to better protect at-risk animals — thanks to a local expert.

CVS will ban greeting cards featuring pictures of apes wearing costumes, interacting with humans or posing in photo studios, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals announced in late November. PETA had lobbied CVS to make the change, saying putting chimpanzees in these settings hurts conservation efforts.

Rite Aid and Walgreens also have embraced the ban, according to PETA, which is pushing major greeting card companies to stop producing the products. CVS didn’t respond to requests for comment.

The changes are rooted in research from Steve Ross, the director of Lincoln Park Zoo’s Lester E. Fisher Center for the Study and Conservation of Apes.

Ross’ studies found that though these greeting cards seem innocuous, many of the chimps featured in them live hard lives, and commercial cards can promote harmful ideas about the animals. CVS’ decision is a sign the public is becoming more aware of how humans treat chimpanzees, he said.

“It sounds like a fairly sort of harmless, frivolous thing,” Ross said. “But unfortunately, there are sort of a bit more dark undertones to these activities. The chimpanzees that were used as ‘actors’ or photo props for these often come from a very difficult past —living in atypical conditions and not always treated right.”

Lincoln Park Zoo researchers have studied the effects of this type of treatment on humans and chimps. They found widespread images featuring chimps, like on greeting cards, can lead people to believe they aren’t endangered or might make good pets — which hurts efforts to save at-risk species.

Ross and other Fisher Center researchers work in multiple areas to help apes. This includes protecting apes from unsustainable logging practices in the Republic of the Congo and the center’s Project ChimpCARE, which has focused on finding appropriate homes for chimps that have had to live as pets or performers. 

Ross said their work has helped lead to regulatory and legislative changes, including chimpanzees being added to the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 2015. That prohibits them from being bought or sold as pets or performers. 

Lincoln Park Zoo is also home to Eli and Susie, two former chimpanzee actors that previously lived at Wildlife Waystation, an unaccredited wildlife facility in California that closed in 2019. The chimps came to Lincoln Park Zoo in 2020.

The greeting card ban gives consumers a chance to consider how to use their buying power to advocate for the welfare of animals, Ross said.

“Small changes in consumer behavior can have a significant impact on wild populations,” Ross said. “Whether it’s buying FSC-certified wood products or rejecting media that inaccurately portray ape species, consumers can and do influence the future for this endangered species.”

As the practice of using chimps in entertainment and advertisement becomes less common, Ross hopes Lincoln Park Zoo can continue its chimpanzee advocacy work with the public’s help. //Chimpanzee enclosure mesh

It’s organization like the zoo “that are really doing the heavy lifting here, doing the science that drives this type of regulatory change and who are also out there as a trusted voice with the public, so that we can get out there and say, ‘No, this is what’s best for chimpanzees and this is how you can partner with us to make that change,’” Ross said.

2 Pittsburgh zoo tigers test positive for covid as zoo awaits vaccines

 Two tigers at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium have tested positive for covid-19, officials said Monday as the Highland Park facility remained on a waiting list for specialty vaccines developed specifically for animals.

The tigers were tested via nasal swab after they started showing symptoms, including “occasional coughing and loose stool,” officials said. The cats are eating normally and expected to recover.

Zoo President Jeremy Goodman said no visitors are allowed to get close to the tigers, meaning the risk of transmission to patrons “is very low.”

He said the tigers likely contracted the virus from an asymptomatic zoo employee. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has noted that the risk of animals spreading the virus to people is low.

A Malayan tiger at the Bronx Zoo became the first zoo animal in the United States known to have contracted the virus. Six other big cats – three tigers and three African lions – also tested positive. All have recovered.

Earlier this year, two female lions in Pittsburgh tested positive for the virus and have since recovered. Zoo officials said there have been no virus-related fatalities among tigers in the United States. Two lions in India died in June after contracting the virus.

Zoos across the country have begun vaccinating their animals with doses developed by animal health company Zoetis. The company in July donated around 11,000 doses to 70 zoos nationwide.

The company, based in Kalamazoo, Mich., is a former subsidiary of Pfizer. Zoetis became its own company in 2013.

“When the first dog was infected with covid-19 in Hong Kong last year, we immediately began to work on a vaccine that could be used in domestic animals,” Mahesh Kumar, a senior official in the company’s global biologics section, said in a July news release announcing the donations. “While thankfully a covid-19 vaccine is not needed in pets or livestock at this time, we are proud that our work can help zoo animals at risk of covid-19.”

Across the country, thousands of zoo animals have been vaccinated against covid. At the Oakland Zoo in California, the large exotic cats – lions, tigers and mountain lions – have been vaccinated. The Washington Post reported that the cats were rewarded with goat’s milk. Bears in Oakland got ice cream and whipped cream, and officials gave a chimp marshmallows and M&Ms to get her to stay still, the newspaper said.

The Post reported in October that Zoetis was planning a second shipment of vaccines “in the coming weeks.” Those vaccines were earmarked for mammals that veterinarians and zoo keepers think are most at risk, including primates, big cats and canines, bears and more.

Shipments of the experimental vaccine must be approved on a case-by-case basis by the USDA and the state veterinarian where the zoo is located, according to National Geographic.

Until the Pittsburgh zoo receives the vaccine, officials are closely monitoring the ill tigers and other large mammals susceptible to the virus.

“We are taking this situation seriously and are continuing to provide the best care possible to our tigers,” Goodman said.

Ludhiana: Tiger safari zoo awaits a young royal

 A three-and-a-half-year-old Royal Bengal Tiger is all set to take over the reins of his new kingdom at the Tiger Safari Zoo near Amaltas village, Ludhiana after completing 28 days in quarantine.

Having completed 28 days in quarantine, a three-and-a-half-year-old Royal Bengal Tiger is all set to take over the reins of his new kingdom at the Tiger Safari Zoo near Amaltas village.

Zoo in-charge Narinder Singh says the big cat was being allowed to roam the area on an occasional basis to help him acclimatise to its new habitat. “We wanted to see how Nav reacted on seeing a bus full of visitors in the zoo. He has shown some aggressiveness, which is expected,” said Narinder Singh.

A zoo official, who did not wish to be named, said, “The animals need to be quarantined for some time, so that they can comfortably adapt to their new habitat.”

Nav was scheduled to be shifted from Chhatbir Zoo in February last year, but the pandemic delayed the process.

Second tiger at the safari

Last year, two tigresses, Chirag and Ichran, had been brought to the zoo to revive its breeding programme. “Chirag was born at the Ludhiana Tiger Safari in 2008 to the two tigers we had earlier — Paras and Chorni. Ichran was also born in captivity at Bannerghatta Zoo near Bengaluru in Karnataka, and was later shifted to Chhatbir,” said Narinder Singh.

However, the 18-year-old male tiger Mani was not keeping well, and soon died. Ichran, who was nearly 16 years old also passed away soon after. With the arrival of Nav, there will be two big cats in the zoo.

The Tiger Safari had been thrown open to the public on July 20 after its closure in March 2020 due to the pandemic. Now, those found without mask in the zoo will be penalised.

Spread across 59 hectares near the Jalandhar Bypass on the National Highway, the safari was opened in 1992 and has been a huge attraction for visitors since.

Recently, the department had launched an animal adoption scheme under which any resident can adopt an animal or bird kept in the zoo by paying an annual care-taking fee, which will allow benefactors to avail a tax benefit.

Columbus Zoo great ape honored in award-winning play

 POWELL, Ohio (WCMH) — The Columbus Zoo is honoring the life of one of its great apes whose incredible life story has become part of an award-winning Broadway musical.

The event is known as “Bonobos to Broadway” and is about a bonobo ape named Unga, who was stranded along with 7,000 other passengers in a small town in Canada after their plane was rerouted during the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Unga was on her way to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium that fateful day but ended up spending five days in the town of Gander, where she was taken care of by an animal protection group run by a woman named Bonnie Harris.

On Sunday, Harris was able to visit the Columbus Zoo, along with a panel of activists and actors who came together to discuss the musical and Unga’s life.

“I’ve been looking forward to this for a while, so this trip has sort of made, finally made my…I came full circle, I guess,” Harris, manager of the Gander and Area SPCA, said.

Unga passed away earlier this year; however, she had two offspring, one of which was named after the town of Gander.
