Chimpanzees

“Tonia Haddix has violated numerous orders of this Court and seeks to make a mockery of the rule of law by admitting and boasting on television, on the internet, and on other means of public communications, about her violations of the Court’s orders,” U.S. District Judge Catherine Perry wrote.

From the documentation shown in the HBO docuseries, PETA is pushing for Tonia Haddix and her conspirators to be charged with perjury and obstruction of justice — and for her Animal Welfare Act license to be revoked.

Tonia Haddix had previously claimed Tonka the chimp died of natural causes. His discovery in a Missouri basement gives lie to that claim.

Tonka’s owner, a Missouri woman named Tonia Haddix, says he is dead. PETA doesn’t buy it.

In October, St. Louis Zoo chimpanzee Utamu gave birth to a baby girl. Two months later, the infant — named Raven — is starting to reach exciting milestones, like reaching for objects and trying to mimic chimpanzee vocalizations.

St. Louis Zoo resident Utamu is pregnant. The 18-year-old chimpanzee is expected to give birth this fall. Primate manager Helen Boostrom joins St. Louis on the Air to discuss how a new baby may alter the group dynamics of the facility’s nine chimpanzees.
