    HBO "star" arrested for abusing apes
    U.S. Marshals stand by as workers move chimpanzees from a Festus-area property in the 12300 block of County Road CC, following a judge's order on Wednesday, July 28, 2021. The caretaker of the animals, Tonia Haddix, was under a court order to turn over all of the chimps to representatives of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The judge's order capped a years long dispute over the fate of the chimps, after a 2016 PETA lawsuit claimed that chimps were being held in inadequate conditions at the Missouri Primate Foundation facility. The suit said the chimpsÕ treatment violated the federal Endangered Species Act. The woman at the center of the HBO documentary "Chimp Crazy" will remain in custody until at least her next hearing on Thursday, after investigators said they discovered another chimp in her basement earlier this month. Tonia Haddix pleaded guilty in March to two counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice for lying when she told a federal judge multiple times that Tonka the chimpanzee had died. She was out on bond awaiting sentencing, but over the weekend, she was taken into custody after a judge ordered the arrest of her and her husband for contempt of court after they repeatedly ignored court orders in a lawsuit filed by PETA.

    HBO "star" arrested for abusing apes
    Tonia Haddix leaves the Thomas F. Eagleton U.S. Courthouse after entering guilty pleas to two counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice of falsely claiming her chimpanzee "Tonka" was dead on March 31, 2025, in downtown St. Louis. The woman at the center of the HBO documentary "Chimp Crazy" will remain in custody until at least her next hearing on Thursday, after investigators said they discovered another chimp in her basement earlier this month. Tonia Haddix pleaded guilty in March to two counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice for lying when she told a federal judge multiple times that Tonka the chimpanzee had died. She was out on bond awaiting sentencing, but over the weekend, she was taken into custody after a judge ordered the arrest of her and her husband for contempt of court after they repeatedly ignored court orders in a lawsuit filed by PETA.

    Scientists studying chimpanzees in Budongo Forest, Uganda, have observed them wiping their bum using leaves as a form of natural toilet paper.
    The primates were observed indulging in the human-like behaviour by Dr. Elodie Freymann of the University of Oxford, first author of the article in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution and her team of researchers.
    “We also documented hygiene behaviours, including the cleaning of genitals with leaves after mating and wiping the anus with leaves after defecation — practices that may help prevent infections,” she said.
    That’s more than some humans manage!
    The chimpanzees hygiene routine goes beyond keeping themselves clean after sex or going to the loo - as they also treat their own and others’ injuries.
    Although chimpanzees elsewhere have been observed helping other community members with medical problems, the persistent presence of this behaviour in Budongo could suggest that medical care among chimpanzees is much more widespread than we realised, and not confined to care for close relatives.
    Their routines could even shed light on how our ancestors first began treating wounds and using medicines.
    “Our research helps illuminate the evolutionary roots of human medicine and healthcare systems,” said Dr Freymann. “By documenting how chimpanzees identify and utilize medicinal plants and provide care to others, we gain insight into the cognitive and social foundations of human healthcare behaviours.”

    The scientists studied two communities of chimpanzees in the Budongo Forest — Sonso and Waibira. Like all chimpanzees, members of these communities are vulnerable to injuries, whether caused by fights, accidents, or snares set by humans. About 40% of all individuals in Sonso have been seen with snare injuries.
    The researchers spent four months observing each community, as well as drawing on video evidence from the Great Ape D *** Loc

    One Swedish zoo, seven escaped chimpanzees. Furuvik Zoo in Sweden.
    When the great apes at Furuvik Zoo broke free from their enclosure last winter, the keepers faced a terrible choice. This is the story of the most dramatic 72 hours of their lives.

    Furuvik Zoo was home to seven chimpanzees. They lived in a building that the park refers to as the ape house, in a series of colour-coded enclosures over two levels (green, brown and yellow) connected to one another by hatches.

    It's not uncommon for animals to escape from zoos, and all zoos have protocol to deal with this eventuality. The precise response, however, depends on which animal has escaped.
    Seven chimpanzees on the loose require a very different approach. Chimpanzees are big and smart, they are adept climbers and can move at up to 25mph. For the humans catching the chimps, the experience can be emotionally challenging, even existentially confusing.
