for her very own private chimp encounter noah a 7 month old chimp pulled her blond hair swatted her cheek and kissed her on the mouth gini valbuena noah s owner hovered in the background valbuena has owned and raised dozens of chimps and monkeys over the past four decades she currently has three chimps at home for 20 years valbuena cared for her menagerie with the money she made from running a photo studio out of her home but in august she had gallbladder surgery and racked up 50 000 in medical bills all without insurance suddenly she needs the chimps as much as they need her i fully supported them for many years valbuena wrote in an e mail now we work together doing something they love we ve hit a bump in the road due to circumstances we could not foretell but we ll steer around it together her first monkey a capuchin the kind used by organ grinders was a gift from her parents when she was 12 years old valbuena can t explain why but she connected with the monkey more followed gibbons chimpanzees orangutans she owned some of them but also raised many for other people she also has had several big cats including a lion valbuena also married had four children and divorced to this day her daughter picks up her kids toys with her feet like a chimp back then there were no laws against owning chimps or lions as pets today by law you can own them only if it involves a commercial use valbuena took photos of regular folks but she also photographed the chimps in dresses and suits and sent them to greeting card companies a few years ago her photo studio went under and she began offering chimp encounters for 100 an hour she also takes her chimps to naples for a few months each year for corporate events at a private preserve one of her chimps 5 year old kenya is over 40 pounds and is not allowed to participate in the encounters usually when her chimps reach sexual maturity between ages 7 and 9 valbuena sends them to an 82 acre farm she won t name somewhere in florida she continues to raise them from afar in florida you can swim with dolphins manatees and stingrays pay to have a tiger cub climb your leg and touch a legless lizard named jimmy dean about 55 people and companies in florida are licensed to exhibit chimps which cost anywhere from 30 000 to 60 000 they include busch gardens in tampa and walt disney world in orlando valbuena who doesn t want to give her age but is in her 50s is one of them she s locked in a continuous battle with animal rights activists who disapprove of private ownership of wild animals or using them for amusement valbuena says chimps love the interaction and she loves them like children she does not sell her older chimps to research centers and figures anything that keeps the species going is a good thing in august after her gallbladder was removed valbuena began advertising her chimp encounters more it is very enriching for the chimps as they become bored easily and we are always looking for ways to entertain them she says but then she wonders her parents raised dozens of foster children sometimes i think about mom and dad raising all those foster babies all those years all that time and attention and i know there are all these children out there and sometimes i feel guilty about giving it all to an animal but these are just like my children they are my family valbuena sits on a stool as 3 year old kira dressed in a bugs bunny diaper clings to her dr darryl heard a university of florida professor and zoological medicine specialist gives kira anesthesia it s okay kisses i know sorry valbuena coos tears forming in the corners of her eyes the chimps are her life they eat five or six times a day and need round the clock care like human infants and now kira needs a tooth extraction at a cost of 500 valbuena knows of at least three chimps and four monkeys who have died under anesthesia is she doing the right thing about 45 minutes later the doctor calmly tells valbuena the tooth came out but there is something wrong with kira s breathing valbuena s chin quivers there s so much happiness and joy in them and when one is the sick it s the worst she cries kira however is fine valbuena cradles the groggy chimp hi darling mommy s so glad you re better before heading back to clearwater valbuena sits in her dodge caravan in the parking lot and slides kira into a toddler size pink one piece with white eyelet trim along the back put your jammies on darling valbuena says mommy s so sorry you had to go through that all is well behind valbuena s home on a deck with two large cages pierce arrives to play with kira valbuena makes the new york woman wash her hands with a disinfectant first heard the uf animal doctor says chimps and people can give diseases to each other valbuena however says her animals have all their shots and have been checked for diseases she s more worried about people giving the animals diseases pierce has gifts for the chimps a xylophone and a pair of maracas kira quickly breaks the xylophone s mallet in two and hides one of the maracas in the crook of her leg then she leaps into pierce s arms and gives her a big hug oh i love you says pierce her blue eyes fixed on the chimp s craggy face want to come home with me kira and pierce kiss then kira does a somersault i don t know how you do it pierce tells valbuena i d play with them all day the chimp smiles revealing a gap in her front teeth then she looks around for valbuena who s standing off to the side monitoring the encounter mommy s not going anywhere valbuena says last modified october 13 2006 06 30 58 chimps aren t pets the story of a woman who owns chimpanzees presented gini valbuena as an animal lover who is now working together with her chimpanzees to raise the 50 000 she racked up in medical bills because she didn t have health insurance according to the article valbuena is promoting a 100 per hour chimp encounter to individuals and groups in the past valbuena also raised monkeys for other people and when the chimps reach sexual maturity valbuena sends them to an 82 acre farm she won t name somewhere in florida is it no wonder animal rights activists have been in a continuous battle with valbuena anyone with common sense would be in conflict with her chimps should not be pets and they don t belong in diapers and children s clothing allowing people the freedom to own wildlife from chimpanzees to python snakes is unconscionable and the times choice to write a piece that touts exploitation as humanitarian is revolting as a former director of an animal welfare organization i will tell you that every story like this negates what we try to do to mitigate the overpopulation of pets in this country shame on you marylou doehrman spring hill letters to the editor on chimp pimps shame shame shame on you for promoting amazing animal actors talking with the animals june 28 2002 these chimpanzee babies belong with their mothers not with a chimp pimp renting them for 200 an hour chimpanzees have long childhoods like us in the wild they are not weaned until about 5 years old and stay near mother until about 9 chimpanzees are not furry little humans and must not be treated like animated toys for human amusement what will really happen to these youngsters when they are no longer cute and cuddly raised away from chimpanzee society they have not learned to act like chimpanzees and no reputable zoo will take such misfits sadly when chimpanzee children have grown too big and strong to be easily controlled they are typically sold into biomedical research or to ramshackle roadside zoos or are forced to breed a new generation of performers chimpanzees can live to be 60 years old but entertainers are usually discarded before they reach 8 because chimpanzees are just like us in all the ways that matter it is wrong to use them for amusement shame on your newspaper for giving free advertising to a chimp pimp cyn krueger stop experimentation on exploitation of chimpanzees seec mercer island wash pay to play chimp program is the problem re a chimp play date story july 5 on behalf of the chimpanzee collaboratory i would like to point out that your july 5 article on gini valbuena s pay to play chimpanzee program in clearwater omitted a few important details we are a group of scientists public policy experts and attorneys that includes world renowned primatologist and advocate jane goodall we are dedicated to improving the lives of chimpanzees and other great apes programs such as valbuena s are exactly what we are trying to protect chimpanzees and other great apes from captive chimpanzees in this type of situation are usually taken from their mothers at infancy and are denied the opportunity to grow up in a normal chimpanzee family later in life they become too strong for a hands on approach by even the most caring human guardian chimpanzees are extremely social beings but they become so humanized when raised in this manner that once placed in a sanctuary with other chimpanzees they do not know how to interact and they suffer horribly from social isolation those are the lucky ones more often than not chimpanzees used in entertainment end up being sold to biomedical laboratories or roadside zoos where they may remain for decades readers who wish to learn about the true nature of chimpanzees and their plight can contact the center for captive chimpanzee care in boynton beach www savethechimps org this sanctuary run by chimpanzee collaboratory member dr carole noon is home to chimpanzees who previously lived in an air force laboratory she also provides sanctuary for chimpanzees who were orphaned by their owners who initially kept them as pets but were no longer able to take care of them noon provides true sanctuary for these individuals and allows them to be who they are chimpanzees not props for our entertainment liz clancy lyons the chimpanzee collaboratory washington d c cruel advertisement october 11th 2006 by admin recently a disturbing advertisement appeared on the popular online community craigslist com the ad featured a photo of a baby chimpanzee and offered hands on encounters with chimpanzees for 100 hour the ad promised your encounter may include holding feeding playing with and photographing a young chimpanzee the ad was placed by gini valbuena who operates a business valbuena chimps out of her home in clearwater in addition to chimpanzee encounters she also rents her chimpanzees for commercials trade shows etc unfortunately this is not illegal but it is certainly exploitive and teaches horrible messages about these endangered animals posted in news 4 responses to help us get cruel advertisement offline on

bridget devaney gini needs to get a job that requires her to work instead of her poor animals that have no choice in the matter i d respect her if she was charging for gini encounters for 100 an hour

2007 at 8 34 pm forthechimps she s a godshame she has dumped soooo many chimps over the years that she needs her own sanctuary just to keep her unwanted retirees how this woman is still allowed to

females between eight and 20 years old were released in june 2008 over two years after the release nine chimpanzees remain free living with two males and three females forming a group at the original release site two of these females gave birth to healthy offspring and another female successfully integrated into a wild chimpanzee community credit image courtesy of university of kent the release was the first of its kind to use vhf gps store on board argos tracking collars to monitor the progress of the chimpanzees the argos system emits gps points to satellites downloadable via the internet it is also only the second time that rehabilitated chimpanzees have been released back into the wild in an area where other wild chimpanzees live dr tatyana humle from the university of kent is the scientific advisor to the project which is being carried out by the chimpanzee conservation centre in the haut niger national park guinea west africa this centre is one of 14 pan african sanctuary

after the release nine chimpanzees remain free living with two males and three females forming a group at the original release site two of these females gave birth to healthy offspring and another female successfully integrated into a wild chimpanzee community the release presented a number of challenges for researchers including finding a suitable release area assessing its overlap with the home range of other wild chimpanzees to minimize competition and the risk of aggression and ensuring the chimpanzees ability to survive independently of human assistance the gps points stored on the collars allowed researchers to monitor the chimpanzees behaviour including their habitat use day travel range and association patterns the argos system also facilitated several rescue missions to retrieve chimpanzees when they strayed too far from the protected release site the release project has brought significant conservation benefits to the local area environmental education and awareness raising programs have been established in and around the park illegal logging activities have stalled and illegal hunting and fishing activities have been reduced other sanctuaries and conservation centres are set to benefit significantly from the project s pioneering use of new technology dr humle from the university s school of anthropology and conservation said this release demonstrates that under special circumstances the release of wild born adult chimpanzees of both sexes is a viable strategy which can also function as an effective conservation tool the lesso...
