Rachel and Jeannie were two chimpanzees who came to Fauna Foundation after years in biomedical research. They were emotionally devastated and taught us about the lasting effects, and potential  for healing after the trauma of life in biomedical research. You can read more about it in this recent article in The Revelator.
