Hi! I'm sorry I made an edit adding Wildlife Way Station, I didn't know there were suppose to be edits. I posted this on the talk page. Hi! I added The Wildlife Waystation to this story, then realized I may not allowed since, I knew Moe, St. James, LaDonna, and also the chimps that attack him, Buddy and Ollie. On the current page, it states:Tanzanian poachers had killed his mother when he was one day old, leaving him an orphan. St. James and LaDonna did not have any children, so they raised him as their own. The truth is Tanzanian poachers do not kill the mothers and leave the babies as orphans. They kill the mothers to sell the babies. I don't want people to feel that there are baby chimpanzees that need to be adopted. It's when people offer to buy the baby, the poachers kill the baby. There is a lot of speculation that this is probably what happened with Moe. I spent a lot of time with Moe at the WildLife Way Station, and when he was moved to his the new sanctuary. I was called right after the attack happened and went up to help, when Buddy and Ollie were killed. They were amazing chimps and so was Moe. It was a tragic and unnecessary event. The main thing I don't want people to believe that poachers are killing adult female chimps and leaving their baby to die. If they believe that, they might feel the need to go to Africa to save a day old chimp. If I read this, I would believe it and I'd want to help and solve the problem. The story really doesn't make sense. Tourists would not be in the jungle when and where the poachers killed the mother. It is more than likely that a baby chimp was requested and the poachers killed the mother and sold Moe to St. James. I don't think this needs to be stated, St. James has obviously gone through enough, but so did Moe and I don't want that to happen to another chimp again. Chimps are unbelievable animals but they are not pets. Would you be okay to changed that sentence. I can provide back up. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. Moe was important to me. We were really good friends and so was Buddy and Ollie. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you will agree.

It is possible to look into this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Annointed777 (talkcontribs) 00:48, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong focus of subject

[edit]

This article should be about Moe instead of the attack. It tells from his adoption all the way to his disappearance. Neocorelight (Talk) 01:08, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Neocorelight: A valid statement. Explaining myself, I thought it was necessary context rather than just describing an attack. However Moe is likely notable and an article can be created by splitting off the bits about the chimp. Bruxton (talk) 15:00, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Moe.. after the attack

[edit]

Moe was placed at Blackmores primates plus foundation ather the attack. We had built a enclosure for him at the animal compound located in Palos Verdes ca. Gewn Blackmore was the temporary cartaker while the lawsuit was pending. I have photos of him while he was staying with us. 2603:8001:AF40:278E:B900:2CCD:92D5:D56 (talk) 08:18, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
