A movie stars please. A missing chimpanzee an owner accused in its disappearance. It all has the makings of a Hollywood plot, but the animal advocates at PETA say no, this is real life 5 on your side. Sarah Mackey explains how they rescued a movie. Star Chimp named Tonka from a basement in Missouri. You don't usually have to go far to find Tonka the chimp. His work lives online and in films like 1997's Buddy A. Just over from Africa, but for months a mystery about whether he was even alive, and if so, where he might be. In my career, I have never seen someone so blatantly. Lie to a federal judge, PETA attorney Jared Goodman says they had an agreement with the fastest animal owner, Tanya Haddocks, to rehome the chimps in her care last year. But when they came here, she told them a high profile chimp from films like George of The Jungle had died in 2021. Suspicious Pita pushed for proof actor Alan ******* joining them in offering a $10,000 reward for information, never have have we even seen something so explicit and perjury. This explicit. Goodman says Haddocks filed false papers with the court lied to the judge and instead ferreted him into hiding. Goodman tells us they only found out tonka's tree whereabouts when Haddocks told someone on the phone that he was living in her basement more than 150 miles away near Lake of the Ozarks, outlining plans to euthanize him on June 2nd. Concerned about his health. Care about him, not the other stuff, not want money. You can get out of town. Nothing. You realize if he was not a quantity fugitive. Like $1,000,000 off of Tick Tock off OK. Like a Hollywood movie, PETA says Tonka does have a happy ending. This is video of him spending some time outside at save the chimps facility in Florida where they will now monitor his health as he navigates his second act. Everything indicates that Tonka will be fine from from here on, but one never knows, right? They are very unique interview those with unique pasts, unique needs, unique health conditions, both physically and. Psychologically? Now we have tried to reach haddocks all day just before our five o'clock show. She said that she did want to tell her side of the story we sent her links for a zoom interview through email and text message, but she never get got on. We might now have to wait to hear her side until June 15th. That is when she's back in federal court.
