Andrew Westoll Reading from The Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary
In 1997, animal protectionist Gloria Grow started a sanctuary for retired biomedical research chimps on her farm outside Montreal. Journalist Andrew Westoll spent months with Gloria and her charges at Fauna Sanctuary as a volunteer, and in his book, The Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary, he vividly recounts his time in the chimp house with empathy and charm. Award winning author Andrew Westoll produces an absorbing, big-hearted book that grapples with questions of just what we owe to the animals who are our nearest genetic relations.
