Authorities discovered the living conditions of Buddy and CJ and the owners and caretakers could not offer any valid reasons that they kept the chimps. Many neighbors did not not even know they were living near someone that inadequately housed wild exotic animals.
CJ had escaped yet again one month after that incident and is now fortunately at an animal sanctuary in Oregon.
