Hollywood mogul and co-creator of The Simpsons, Sam Simon, has purchased a chinchilla farm in Southern California as part of a drive by animal rights activists to close the breeding facility. The 425 chinchillas were moved to much larger cages at two local humane society branches, where they will be available for adoption. “This is your last day of abuse,” Simon told the animals, as he walked through the facility’s cramped rows of mesh-wire cages. “This is your first day of freedom.”
