Ep.1: The Primate Sanctuary Part 1

This is part 1 of 2.

Join Iman Goueli as she interviews Carmen Presti, the founder of The Primate Sanctuary. This sanctuary is located in Niagara Falls, New York and is the only primate sanctuary in the Northeastern part of the United States. It has been around since the 1980s and became a non-profit 501c3 organization in the year 2000. The sanctuary is dedicated to rescuing unwanted, abused ex-pets and research monkeys and apes. Mr. Presti and his primates have appeared on numerous television shows including "Animal Planet" and "Live with Regis and Kathy Lee" in the late 1990s. At that time, Charlie, was their main star who has since retired from being the "Karate Chimp". "National Geographic Explorer's" footage of Charlie's martial arts expertise is online today and is still licensed to help raise funds for the sanctuary. See Charlie's karate kick via the link below.
