DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — An ape sanctuary in central Iowa is resuming public tours this year.
The Des Moines Register (http://dmreg.co/1208gUthttp://dmreg.co/1208gUt ) reports the Iowa Primate Learning Sanctuary will offer tours through online reservations. The tours will be limited to 25 people and will run about an hour and a half.
The sanctuary near Des Moines was previously called Great Ape Trust. Its director, Sue Savage-Rumbaugh, was accused last year by former workers of endangering the apes and being mentally unfit for the job. A sanctuary board cleared her and the facility has passed several federal inspections since then.
The tours will include a lecture and bonobo demonstration. The sanctuary is asking visitors to donate a minimum of $20 for adults and $14 for children.
