Dear John,
What’s happening to seven chimpanzees held captive at the DeYoung Family Zoo isn’t just a moral failure. It’s a legal one.
Seven self-aware, autonomous beings remain trapped at a roadside zoo in Northern Michigan—kept in a grossly unnatural environment, deprived of anything resembling a physically or psychologically healthy life for a chimpanzee.
Our team is fighting to secure their fundamental right to liberty—with the support of chimpanzee cognition and behavior experts like Dr. Jane Goodall, who submitted a powerful affidavit in this case. This year we're preparing for a hearing before the Michigan Court of Appeals to argue for our clients’ freedom and release to a sanctuary.
While our fight to remedy this injustice may take place inside of a courtroom, there’s a lot you can do to help aid our efforts outside of it.
This is why we’ve released our new Free the DeYoung Prisoners merchandise collection [[link removed]] —to give advocates like you a chance to wear your heart loud and proud and help us raise awareness about our case. The shirts in this collection provide a bold and clear statement that people in Michigan, and beyond, can use to show that they, too, support the DeYoung chimpanzees’ right to liberty.

Every item we sell provides essential funds to our nonprofit so that we can continue to advocate for the freedom of these seven chimpanzees and ensure that nonhuman animals have access to justice.
Help us spread the message that it’s time for the legal system to affirm and deepen our respect for the freedom of other beings. Let people see where you stand!
Thank you for your continued support,
The NhRP
