My name is Grinch. I am a bonnet macaque and one of the 532 monkeys who call Born Free USA’s Primate Sanctuary home. You may have seen a photo or video of me here or there, chasing some lady monkeys around and enjoying a fruit treat (That’s right… I’m kinda famous, you know…). Today, I’m writing this message to say a special thank you to some very important people: the dedicated team at the Sanctuary who take such good care of us monkeys all year long.
The Sanctuary staff is deeply dedicated to the mission of Born Free USA and our care and well-being is at the front of their minds all the time. We monkeys don’t understand what “9 to 5” means and have no concept of “federal holidays” or “weekends.” Caring for us really is a non-stop job; the staff works seven days a week, 365 days a year, and most of them even live here with us at the Sanctuary! They never ask for the praise or special commendation they truly deserve for their extraordinary commitment and hard work.
This holiday season, I ask you to give our Sanctuary staff a gift; one of support. Here are some ways you can help:
► Make a donation to the Sanctuary
► Symbolically adopt a monkey like me
► Donate items from the Sanctuary’s Amazon Wish List
However you choose to give, your gift to the Sanctuary will bring cheer that lasts year long by providing the crucial funds, support, and tools needed to care for us monkeys.
On behalf of all of the monkeys at the Primate Sanctuary, I thank you for your support!
For the Monkeys (and Our Caregivers),
