Critics Review
‘Dr. Halloran presents a comprehensive approach to captive animal care where every individual not just survives, but thrives. It’s a comprehensive treaty that can serve as a foundation for any organization responsible for the care of captive animals and was developed out of decades of real frontline sanctuary experience.’ Jon Stryker, Save the Chimps
‘In this volume, Andrew Halloran describes the care, dedication, and goals of sanctuaries in rescuing, nurturing, and rehabilitating chimpanzees and other animals so that they can thrive in a more humane and stimulating social and physical environment. This book is a must read for anyone interested in animal behavior, animal welfare, animal rights, veterinary sciences, animal psychology, as well as those considering a career in zoos, aquaria, or sanctuaries. I recommend it highly.’ Paul A. Garber, University of Illinois
