- APES, with many other organizations dedicated to animals,
responded to the destruction of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. We arrived
for a 4-week commitment in New Orleans at rescue headquarters with a
truckload of medical and other supplies. There was a constant and immediate
need for supportive care of the thousands of dogs, cats, and horses
at the shelter and a more urgent need for field rescue.
- Dan-Dan is a Hoolock Gibbon, a highly endangered species
and victim of the illegal pet trade in Myanmar. We literally pulled
over to check on the gibbon. He'd been purchased by the father of the
house during a business trip to an outlying village where Dan-Dan's
mother had been poached and he as a baby taken to sell. Our guide and
interpreter is also a veterinarian at the zoo. He informed the family
that Dan-Dan was acquired and being held illegally, and encouraged them
to relinquish him to the zoo (Myanmar does not permit sanctuaries).
