A thousand chimps still languish in American research laboratories. A lucky few make it to Fauna Sanctuary, just across the border in Quebec. For two years, Andrew Westoll worked with these rescued and retired primates. In his award-winning book, he introduces Sue Ellen, Regis, and the legendary Billy Jo, tells their life stories, and explores how the choices we make at the cash register affect what happens in the lab.
