CRUEL Camera
Twenty-five years ago, Bob Mckeown and a fifth estate crew stunned the country with an investigative report that showed that many of the wildlife documentaries we'd grown up watching on television (remember the famous footage of the lemmings going off the cliff or some of the memorable moments from shows like Wild Kingdom?) were staged for the television cameras. As well, they revealed that animals often died during the making of movies; all for the sake of the entertainment value.
Now, Bob McKeown and an investigative team have returned to the subject
to find out what has changed since the fifth estate's first Cruel Camera
documentary. What they found may astonish you.

Chimpanzees and other primates are truly significant beings, once you've met someone face-to-face; it is difficult to deny they are intelligent and sentient beings capable of bridging the animal-human gap of understanding and compassion.
Many chimps have never felt natural sunshine on their pale faces, stepped foot on grass, or climbed a tree. APES Sanctuary for Primates will change forever the lives of many.
There is a rising demand for sanctuaries prepared to care for Chimpanzees, many from biomedical research. Thank you for your interest in helping our search for land to establish the APES Primate Sanctuary.
