Ep. 344: PETA Effort Shames Washington National Primate Center

Angela Scott was 19 when she first volunteered for Chimparty. She's  the whistleblower who got the evidence that exposed the animal cruelty in the Netflix documentary, "Chimp Crazy." Scott tells Emil Guillermo about the conditions chimps lived under, how the breeding process strips mother chimps from their young. And beyond the story of Tonka,  there's the sad story about Conner, the Hallmark chimp. Scott talks about what wasn't in the show, revealing more about Mike and Connie Casey. And what she thinks of Tonia Haddix. Take action, save the chimps.
