2515 Bethel Road | Nicholasville, KY 40356 | (859) 858-4866 | www.primate-rescue.org 1 To alleviate the suffering of primates wherever it occurs by: Providing sanctuary or referral to appropriate facilities Working to end the trade in primates both in the US and abroad Educating the public to the plight of primates caught in the breeder/dealer cycle Assisting researchers and zoo personnel in finding appropriate placement for surplus primates Encouraging compliance with applicable local, state and federal laws and animal welfare statutes 2016 Accomplishments: In January (and again in October) members of our care staff received safety training, including escape drills and blow dart technique. Our May Member Event enticed over 350 friends and supporters to join us at the sanctuary, where they enjoyed auctions, purchased unique merchandise and observed the incredible primate residents of the PRC. Fortunately, this year the rain held out for almost the entire event! In September, we participated in the North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance (NAPSA) Workshop in Tacoma, Washington. As a founding member of NAPSA, the PRC is very involved in NAPSA’s growth, development and accomplishments. PRC staff attended the event and Executive Director April Truitt was a featured speaker on a number of panels aimed at educating and uniting the primate sanctuary community. Assistant Director Eileen Dunnington attended the Carnegie Center Event Planning class in August, and the KY Nonprofit Forum in November. In October, she was invited to join the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Transylvania University, where she will be able to ensure that the PRC’s ethics regarding animal welfare are carried out into the local community. This summer we performed medical exams on 15 of our monkeys. We are grateful to our long-time vet Dr. Dan Bowling, assisted by Dr. Woodrow Friend of Rood & Riddle, Dr. Elizabeth Hammond of Lion Country Safari in Florida, and Dr. Holly Haefele of Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Texas for helping us complete these important and delicate procedures flawlessly. Jenny, 22 year old chimpanzee Once again, the PRC was voted a Top Rated Nonprofit by GreatNonprofits, a leading charity search tool. A wide range of reviewers gave us scores of 100% and mentioned a variety of unique details that make the PRC stand out as a nonprofit.
