A Room of His Own

With a Little Help from His Friends Born in a research facility, Beanie (right) contracted encephalitis and was left blind and with a seizure disorder. He requires considerable individualized care, but rewards everyone with his sunny disposition.

(Winter 2002) — Readers of our Fall 2001 UPDATE learned about sanctuaries providing comfort and security to primates who have been in research labs. Those who remarked on the engaging gibbon, Beanie, who lives at the International Primate Protection League (IPPL) in South Carolina, will be glad to hear that a NEAVS grant provided a new enclosure for the 12-year-old blind gibbon.

NEAVS has supported IPPL’s work in the past and feels a special affinity for Beanie who would have been abandoned or euthanized were it not for IPPL. NEAVS respects and appreciates IPPL’s work on behalf of primates, like Beanie. IPPL plays a key role in anti-vivisection efforts as a vigilant gatekeeper to ensure that the international trade in primates for research is stopped.
