    I worked, very briefly, at a chimp rescue and I can tell you, it’s incredibly hard work. The chimps are absolutely beautiful beings and I have so much respect and admiration for people like Mr. Cussons. What a God-send he is!!!! This show is fabulous! I am totally addicted. His passion and compassion bring tears to my eyes every show!!!! Thank you Animal Planet!!!!!
