A company called "Ed and Annette's Monkeys and More" of Chicago, Illinois has a baby chimp that puts on crowd-pleasing shows - named Lisa Marie Presley.
Unfortunately we have learned that when Lisa is not performing she is kept in a small cage under horrible conditions.
Both the organization known as PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and now the original human named Lisa Marie Presley (the human that the chimp was named after) are both demanding that she be released to a sanctuary so she can be properly cared for.
An anonymous whistle-blower brought it to PETA's attention that when being brought to these parties Lisa is being transported in a Rubbermaid Bin. Ed and Annette purchased Lisa from a primate breeder in Missouri, and under these conditions we fear that Lisa will grow weak and perhaps go to a roadside zoo to die. Maybe Lisa will even grow angry with her living conditions and get violent like Travis. I hope it doesn't come to that, but how I could blame Lisa?
We are not sure what we can to help, except to join in this outrage. My question is if Lisa is in this horrible situation, what other animals are being mistreated at "Ed and Annette's Monkeys and More"?
