We've spent a lot of time on this blog discussing group formation, or introductions, so you probably know by now that they are at once the greatest and most terrifying activity you can take part in as a chimpanzee caregiver. While I wouldn't put them in the same category, reintroductions can be a bit of a roller coaster, too. Reintros occur any time a group is reformed after a period apart. This is commonly due to medical isolation of one or more members but it can also occur if a group is moved to a new facility or if an institution practices fission-fusion management, wherein individuals are routinely moved between groups (I dislike the use of the term fission-fusion in the captive context but I don't get to make the rules). Most reintroductions are fairly easy, as the group members have already worked out their relationships. But if a group is separated immediately after a bad conflict for the purpose of treating injuries, they may need to be reintroduced more carefully-even from scratch-lest they immediately pick up where they left off. Whether or not the participants had a chance to reconcile in those cases can make a big difference.
Note: go to the blog or website to communicate with the sanctuary! We turned off commenting on our KZitem videos. Foxie Chimpanzee loves troll dolls, but her human caregivers don't love internet trolls.
Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest is against the use of chimpanzees in the entertainment, pet, and biomedical industries. We do not believe chimpanzees belong in captivity. The reality is that there are many chimpanzees in captivity who could never live a life in the wild. We, along with other accredited, true sanctuaries, provide a home for these chimpanzees and allow their individual personalities to shine. Learn more about the chimpanzees, the sanctuary, and our philosophy on our website and daily blog. linktr.ee/chim... ChimpsNW.org
