This autumn, something truly special is going on at Gut Aiderbichl’s Sanctuary for Traumatized Chimpanzees and other Primates. The best possible happy ending is just around the corner for the dramatic and moving sto-ry of 38 ex-lab chimpanzees and five monkey apes.

When Gut Aiderbichl accepted the weight of responsi-bility for keeping the animals, by offering them safety and sanctuary, their story was already ongoing for several decades. Old film footage reveals crowds of people de-monstrating in front of Vienna’s town hall when these chimps were transported to the research lab. Researcher and UN peace ambassador, Jane Goodall, personally occupied a cage in the experimental lab in Vienna, and she has followed events ever since. Jane and the chimps were reunited when several animals were suppo-sed to be transported to a zoo in Hungary.

Hope for Animals and the chimps’ carers found out what was happening; Vier Pfoten started a campaign, Maggie Entenfellner mobilized her support and I perso-nally offered sanctuary to three of the youngest chimps.

In 2009, several hundred Friends of Aiderbichl – our animal sponsors, as well as patrons – got in touch to pledge their help and support. But people are deluded if they assume it’s thanks only to the hard work of animal protection campaigners that this group of chimps can still live together, while also enjoying outdoor enclo-sures.

Without the support of the Austrian government, represented by Dr. Ulrich Herzog for the state of Lower Austria, by Martin Tschulik (M.A.) for the municipality of Gänserndorf, and the Mayor Dr. Robert Michl, and especially the pharmaceutical group Baxter represented by Christian Hrobar (M.A.), what we are celebrating to-

4 5

day would not be feasible. Basically, we are all in this together. Everyone can protect weaker individuals in our world. Everyone has understood – and reacts accordingly – that humanity need not exclude animals and the natural world.

Today, we are celebrating what has been under planning and construction since 2009. I wish to express my sincere personal thanks, in particular, to Renate Foidl, Director of Gut Aiderbichl´s Sanctuary for Traumatized Chimpanzees and other Pri-mates, her Deputy Director Annemarie Kuti, whose team of carers all offer their help on a voluntary (unpaid) basis. Sincere thanks go to Dieter Ehrengruber, Managing Director of Gut Aiderbichl.

I have personally experienced the immense passion and commitment on the part of all professionals in completing their work. To stay on budget, they frequently re-sorted to employing the red pens. Sincere thanks to everyone, as well as Dr. Harald Schwammer of Schönbrunn Zoo, who also acted as vo-luntary advisor and suppor-ted our plans.

Last but not least, I wish to thank all the members of the press and media. The story of our chimps always needs acute sensitivity and precise observation. I can-not recall a single instant of sensationlist reporting. On the contrary, the tone was always honest and ob-jective. Everyone knew this was about more than just good relations with animals. Everything is at stake!

Our ChiMpaNzEES’ STOry

During the 1970s and 1980s, animal research laboratories relied heavily on chim-panzees. After the AIDS epidemic, there was an upsurge in demand for chimps.

Monkey catchers swarmed around the African rainforest to trap baby chimps for research.

Adult chimps are difficult to catch: they are highly intelligent, and also seven times stronger than humans. The catchers wasted no time. They used brutal methods to trap the young chimps.

The mother–child relationship is as intense for chimps as for humans. Infants cling to their mother’s belly for three years, and ride piggyback for four more years.

Shooting their mothers was the only way to catch the infants. But chimps live in family groups. Family pulls together when other family members are endangered. Estimates suggest that twenty adult chimps were shot defending the infants.

Babies crammed into transit boxes were generally aged between one and four years. From Africa, they were sent to research labs all over the world. Our chimps mainly came from Sierra Leone and were intended for the IMMUNO lab in Orth – then, located in Vienna.

The Trauma of Captivity:

a lOST ChildhOOd

These infants experienced traumatic events and completed a long, torturous jour-ney – but the facts were totally overlooked. Immediately after their arrival at the lab, they were locked in cages. Those animals destined for use in experiments were kept in isolation – they had no contact with other animals. From now on, humans usually approached them wearing protective suits, like space suits. Research igno-red the fact that these infants were still in their formative years. They spent their youth, puberty and young adulthood in the same conditions.

In 1991/1992, the animal research lab relocated to Orth an der Donau where the cages were mar-ginally bigger (2x3m). Their occupants could see other animals through bulletproof glass.

To make cleaning their cages easier, they still mo-ved around on a wire mesh floor. Humans only ever approached chimps infected with the HIV virus wearing protective suits. At least where non-infected animals stayed, they encountered humans without protective facemasks. Some impressive black-and-white photos were taken in 1992. The-se record the chimps’ isolation and despair.

1997 After a takeover, IMMUNO lab in Orth an der Donau changes ownership: BAXTER pharmaceuticals is the new owner. BAXTER prohibits the use of chimps in research and they are free!

1997-2002 After the IMMUNO takeover and acquisition of the chimps and monkeys, BAX-TER accepts moral responsibility and plans to thank the animals for their immense sacrifices for humanity. Following the negotiations with Gänserndorf Safari Park, BAXTER sets up a model monkey enclosure in the safari park grounds. Large open-air enclosures are planned. BAXTER gives the safari park an enviable sum of money to care for all the monkeys.

2002 The chimps and several apes leave the lab and move into their new enclosure. Plans start on the construction of large outdoor enclosures. Researchers and expe-rienced carers treat the chimps kept in isolation for over 20 years as part of a reso-cialization scheme, so they can live together with others. This process is extremely tricky – and, it is unfinished, even now.

2004 To everyone’s horror, Gänserndorf Safari Park goes bankrupt. All recently begun work on the outdoor enclosures grinds to a halt. Even the chimps and monkey apes are now in receivership.

2009 After several years of fruitless searching for solutions, in February 2009 the Repub-lic of Austria turned to Gut Aiderbichl with a proposal for the Gut Aiderbichl animal sanctuaries group to consider incorporating the Gänserndorf enclosure and its forty resident chimps and five monkey apes.

Dec. 2009 At the Ministry of Health in Vienna, Michael Aufhauser and Dieter Ehrengruber sign an agreement with the state of Lower Austria, the Republic of Austria, the Baxter group and the municipality of Gänserndorf on behalf of the non-profit Gut Aiderbichl Foundation Austria. The Gänserndorf monkeys are now Aiderbichler! Renate Foidl, Director of Gut Aiderbichl´s Sanctuary for Traumatized Chimpanzees and other Primates, and Annemarie Kuti spent 18 years as trusted companions and carers for the monkeys. They and their team also joined with the other Aiderbichler, at Gut Aiderbichl´s Sanctuary for Traumatized Chimpanzees and other Primates.

2010 Gut Aiderbichl’s long-term mission is to highlight the plight of animals used in research by caring for the Aiderbichler chimps. The crucial message: chimps in the wild are also an endangered species on the brink of extinction. The exhibition about the chimps in Henndorf near Salzburg and in Deggendorf in Bavaria is a first step towards achieving this goal. The resocialization and enrichment programs for the chimps are ongoing and being intensified. Work now starts on planning and constructing the chimps’ outdoor enclosure.

The non-profit Gut Aiderbichl Foundation Austria is responsible for the construction of the outdoor enclosure. Work must be finished on (the available) budget.

It’s a tough job for Dieter Ehrengruber who also has to consider safety and security as top priorities.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with other professionals – a friendship develops.

Chimps Moritz, Anton and David12 13

Probably, Moritz was born free in 1983 in Sierra Leone (Africa). In 1986, he was kept in captivity and isolation for animal research. All experiments on him were stopped in 1997. In 2002, the doors of his cage were finally opened and he re-settled among the group living at Gänserndorf. Moritz remains traumatized to a degree even now. He has the highest rank in his group and can be very dominant and energetic. Anton and Susi are his best friends in the group. He treats them with great sensitivity. He acts like a father to the young chimps and knows the games that will thrill the entire group. During his first excursion to the 2000-sq.m. open-air enclosure, it was as though he were embracing the world. He inspected every nook and cranny and made an important discovery. When he gripped an electric wire, he got a slight shock. But he was not in shock and, at first, just sat down and reflected. His new world also had limits, but they were also for his own protection.

Chimp MOriTzThe Moritz Group, aka Group of Ten. Outdoor Enclosure D.

Born free in Sierra Leone in about 1982. In 1986, the chimpanzee catchers trapped him. The last images, which must have affected him, would be of his dying mother. It was dark in the cage in which he was flown out of Africa. His “home” for the next 20 years was a cramped cage in the research lab. After the lab’s takeover by Baxter pharmaceuticals group – the company did not conduct research with chimps – An-ton was set free. That was in 1997. In 2002, he also resettled in Gänserndorf and moved into spacious living quarters with the Moritz Group. Moritz is his best friend. He is one of the three group leaders and helped rear the three youngsters David, Alfred and Xsara.

Chimp hElENEThe Moritz Group, aka Group of Ten. Outdoor Enclosure D.

Presumably, she also hails from in Sierra Leone (Africa) and was probably born in 1982. Trapped in the wild, she was taken from her family and mother and was used for animal research from 1986. She lived in an isolation cage. In 1995, while in captivity in the lab, she was forced to mate and gave birth to Alfred in 1996. For-tunately, Alfred also now lives with the Moritz Group. Helene is the highest-ranking female. But she’s not entirely let go of Alfred. If he’s acting out and being rowdy, she still reprimands him. Otherwise, she spends lots of time with her best friends Bonnie and Susi, or enrages Moritz. She only needs to ignore him and he quickly loses control.

1716 17

Chimp alFrEdThe Moritz Group, aka Group of Ten. Outdoor Enclosure D.

Born on 25.11.1996 – Helene’s son – in an Austrian research lab. In 2002, he relo-cated to the monkey house constructed by the Baxter group at Gänserndorf. Alfred sees David, who was also born in the lab, as his best friend. He takes a notable interest in all female members of the Moritz Group. During those initial moments when we practised opening the gates to the new external enclosure, things were overwhelming for him. It was totally different for the others not born in captivity. Basically, Alfred was new born right now. Suddenly he saw clouds, butterflies, green grass and earth. His natural instinct supported him at this moment.

1818 19

Chimp SChuSChaThe Moritz Group, aka Group of Ten. Outdoor Enclosure D.

Probably born in 1982 in Sierra Leone (Africa). In 1986, aged four years, she was kept in isolation at the research lab. Schuscha’s cage was only just bigger than her and had a mesh floor. In 1992, she was given a slightly bigger cage. But she was alone, in isolation from her peers. In 1997, she was released from the research lab and gradually got to know other chimps. All the chimps started a process of reso-cialization. Schuscha gave birth to her son David in 1998, and one year later Xsara arrived. Since then, the female chimps are all given contraception. Schuscha’s role in the Moritz Group is highly important. She knows how to calm Moritz and Anton if tension mounts up between them. Schuscha was one of the first to climb the tallest tree in the open-air enclosure. Her son David followed her. The family pet, Xsara (her daughter), was the only one not to go outdoors – on the first occasion.

1918 19

Chimp BONNiEThe Moritz Group, aka Group of Ten. Outdoor Enclosure D.

In the Moritz Group’s indoor enclosure, Bonnie – born free in 1982 in Sierra Leone/Africa – behaves rather reserved and unsure of herself. This is a welcome weaker group member for the leader, Moritz. He intimidates her with his urge to impress. She then goes to Helene who comforts and embraces her. Like a sun worshipper, Bonnie occasionally sits on the windowsill and looks longingly outdoors. Her favo-urite diversion is mutual grooming. When we practised opening the gates for the group on 20.08.2011, she seriously impressed us. Outside in the spacious enclosure in the sun and breeze, she suddenly showed us that she is a confident climber: she can remember everything from her days in the jungle. But she was only four years old when her Mum was shot and she was transported to the research laboratory.

20 21

Chimp SuSiThe Moritz Group, aka Group of Ten. Outdoor Enclosure D.

Our chimp Susi was born in 1974 somewhere in Africa. She already arrived at the research lab in 1976. She is now aged 37 years and has not been outdoors for 33 years. When she joined the Moritz Group, she first had to learn to forget. She was used for hepatitis research. And always kept in isolation. What would she do, we wondered with some concern, when the gates to the outdoor enclosure were open? How would the older, traumatized chimp deal with this? We watched spell-bound. A miracle happened. She stepped upright into the enclosure – towards the sun, like a symbol of gratitude and dignity. And we were even more sorry at the thought of the chimpanzees maybe having to leave planet Earth, perhaps in the next decade if nothing is done. That’s the last curtain call to our nearest relative – primates like the ape.

20 21

Chimp liNGOaThe Moritz Group, aka Group of Ten. Outdoor Enclosure D.

In 2003 when Gänserndorf Safari Park looked after the chimpanzees, Lingoa arri-ved at the monkey house from a German outdoor park. She is blind in one eye. She was introduced to the Moritz Group in 2006 as a ward of Anton the chimp. Gradu-ally, she has made friends in the group – Xsara und Bonnie. But she’s also put out feelers to the top ranks. She tries to win acceptance from Moritz and Alfred. On the day the gates were opened for the very first time, she was brilliant. She practised daring walks on a suspended beam. Moritz and Alfred seemed really impressed.

22 23

Chimp XSaraThe Moritz Group, aka Group of Ten. Outdoor Enclosure D.

Born in the research lab on 02.02.1999 as Schuscha’s daughter. She never had to undergo experiments. Immediately after the takeover by the Baxter group, all experiments using chimps were stopped in 1997. She relocated in 2002 with her Mum and brother David to the Gänserndorf monkey house. The spacious and well-equipped quarters that were home to the Moritz Group were the backdrop to her youth. This was a safe and very restricted world. Xsara is unusually charismatic. The male chimps are given milk with higher fat content (3.5%) while the females only get low fat milk (1.5%) to drink, so every day Xsara repeats the same ritual. She sweetly persuades the male chimps to swap milk with her. If visitors drop by, she loves presenting herself in front of the reinforced glass. Her youth has been pro-tected and she enjoys many liberties not available to others. If she hits one of the cables, her Mum Schuscha hurries up to her. If nothing else works, Moritz, the Boss, personally lends a hand. When the gates were opened on 20.08.2011, Xsara was the only chimp not to go outdoors. The diva was stubborn and pretended to sulk. That also happens with some humans who are accustomed to being spoiled.

22 23

Chimp daVidThe Moritz Group, aka Group of Ten. Outdoor Enclosure D.

He was born in 1998 in the research lab, but he never had to endure experiments. His Dad, Speedy, died in 2011 in the lab. His Mum, Schuscha could not breastfeed him, perhaps because of an infection. Schuscha was especially attentive to David, but his carer – Beatrix, at the time – still had to bottle-feed him for several months at home. He already participated in the resocialization scheme in 2000 before the chimps relocated to the monkey house at Gänserndorf. On a trial basis, four isola-tion cages were opened so they could be linked. David was therefore able to live together with his Mum, Schuscha, and his sister, Xsara. Helene and her son Alfred as well as Bonnie the chimp were also members of this group. David is now developing into an adult chimp. He is going through puberty. He would dearly love to earn acceptance from the leaders. He’s already made a name for himself as the “Discoverer”. If a new object appears, he’s the first to inspect it. He shows that he’s a multi-talent during grooming sessions. This habit is taken very seriously in the chimps’ world.

liViNG wiTh Our ChiMpaNzEESIt is a constant challenge to find highly qualified carers for our adult chimps. If they keep to the rules, carers are reminded never to touch their wards. Safety gates and reinforced glass prevent direct contact. A close encounter with an adult chimp could be life threatening.

Renate Foidl and Annemarie Kuti got to know our chimps 19 years ago after an animal carer visited their school. Thunderbolts and lightning! They decided and promised to work for the chimps, and never to abandon them. And they’ve kept their word: even from 2004 to 2009, when the chimps were part of Gänserndorf Safari Park’s bankruptcy case, they were constantly concerned for the future of their chimps.

They lived with the uneasiness and fear that every month could be the last for the chimps, and their work might stop. The chimps have been amazingly lucky with their female carers, Renate, Annemarie – and also Bianca and Bettina. These ‘Won-der Women’ have given the chimps a voice! And they fight for them. In fact, it’s fair to say that Renate and Annemarie have given the chimps a precious gift – a major part of their lives.

A Day in the Life of Gut Aiderbichl´s Sanctuary for Traumatized Chimpanzees and other Primates:

The daily meeting of our carers adjourns with a generous breakfast for the animals in the living quarters. The chimps are treated to exotic fruits and seasonal fruit. Or, breakfast is served in spacious feeding boxes so the living quarters are free for essential cleaning. Usually, the morning agenda involves an activity program. The repeated fo-cus is resocialization, enrichment and so forth. Medicines must be dispensed and much more. It’s crucial constantly to monitor temperature and humidity and to keep an eye on the condition of safety gates, clean the reinforced glass, feeding kitchen and much more.

Lunch is from 12 noon to 1 pm. A new development is opening the gates to visit the outdoor enclosure. The monkeys can enjoy their afternoon! Meanwhile, animal carers complete essential jobs like doing accounts, placing orders, writing up reports on the monkeys’ behaviour and devising enrichment tasks. In the early evening, the chimps really have something to look forward to – half a litre of milk and a balanced wholefood meal with a great choice of fruits and vegetables.

At twilight, they then go to their nests and other resting places, which they have found, and constructed by themselves. A structured daily routine is vital.

Our FuTurEA chimp – if he or she is lucky – can live for 60 years. Our three youngest born in the research lab – Xsara (12), David (13) and Alfred (15) – still have very long life expectancy. Currently, it costs EUR 55.00 to maintain a single chimp for a day. Mi-chael Aufhauser has personally pledged his funding support for our three youngest chimps until the end of their natural lives – if, for some reason, the Foundation lacks sufficient funds.

Obviously, we urgently need the help of every additional supporter of the non-profit Gut Aiderbichl Foundations in Austria, Germany and Switzerland! If you can, please go ahead now and pledge us your support. An Aiderbichler called Toni Meggle, for example, requested a gift donation go to Gut Aiderbichl´s Sanctuary for Trau-matized Chimpanzees and other Primates instead of receiving flowers and gifts on his birthday. Other Aiderbichler have made similar pledges. The Gut Aiderbichl community of animal sponsors is also familiar with our ‘Plus Card’: all Friends of Aiderbichl can extend their membership by making an additional donation to Gut Aiderbichl´s Sanctuary for Traumatized Chimpanzees and other Primates for as little as EUR 5.00 every month. This is a great way to help out and many of our animal sponsors pledge their permanent support for our traumatized chimps.

renate Foidl Annemarie Kuti Bettina and Bianca (6 years with our chimps)

Our promise to traumatized chimps and monkeys will continue long after the ani-mals currently resident at Gut Aiderbichl´s Sanctuary for Traumatized Chimpanzees and other Primates reach the end of their natural lives. Our other Gut Aiderbichl estates also help primates in dire need. But we urgently need well-qualified carers, space and vital financial assistance. We also see Gut Aiderbichl´s Sanctuary for Trau-matized Chimpanzees and other Primates as a major bonus in terms of media and public relations. For us, education is crucial. We also want to ensure that our efforts help the chimps maintain their freedom. And we strongly emphasize a real possibi-lity that – within the next 15 years – all apes could be faced with extinction.

Please give us your support! Become a Friend of Aiderbichl – with a ‘Plus’ Animal Sponsorship: make a donation or remember us with a parting le-gacy. Gut Aiderbichl Foundations are not liable for inheritance tax and pay no taxes for donations given as gifts. In Germany and Switzerland, donations to non-profit animal protection organizations are tax deductable. These rules will also soon be enforced in Austria.

Our main headquarters is in Salzburg. The first estate was created in 2001, when Michael Aufhau-ser decided to turn his private riding stables into a unique place for humans and animals to get together. His motto: “Even if we were to succeed in protecting animals from humans, our success would amount to nothing. We will only make a real difference when animal protection is no longer needed. Then, we’ll truly change something: OURSELVES”.
