Jeanne Rizzotto Has Lost EVERYTHING!!!

Jeanne Rizzotto has lost all of her homes, properties, and the most exciting news of all is that she has lost her chimps. The Chimps that she said for a year that they would not go anywhere, over her dead body. I personally am very excited for Connor and Kramer because now they have the opportunity to be Chimps, to be apart of a troupe, be away from that awful woman that left them with inexperienced people for weeks and weeks at a time. At least now Connor won't be biting anyone and being in Danger of being shot like poor Travis was. I'm so glad she lost them, This has made my year!!!!!!

Now the next thing that needs to happen is for Gini Valbuena of Valbuena Chimps or Chimpencountersflorida needs to lose everything so her baby chimp can also have the same opportunity, and she won't be able to buy anymore. Now that would make the world a better place for all of the babies that will be in her hands in the future, just to be bought and dumped like she has done over the past 40+ years. Please people don't feed into her practices by paying to play with a baby chimp. Think of the chimp, his future, his needs, not yours. Resist the cuteness, resist the thought of "I've always wanted to play with a chimp" Think about where they go after she's done with them, think about them not having other chimps around, think about her making them wear clothes and shoes. Think about them living in a cage!!!! They are so close to us, would you want to live an unnatural life? Don't fall for the BS that is on her site, do some real reading on the Internet and find out what happens to these chimps. Please if you love them leave them alone.

How Did Jeanne Rizzotto Treat a Business Partner

Well folks this article is a real reader. Here Mr. MacDonald speaks out about what Jeanne Rizzotto has done to him, not only financially, but personally.

I for one, CAN attest to the fact that breaking into some one's e-mail account and pretending to be that person IS, IN FACT, Jeanne Rizzotto's MO. She did the very same thing to me last year. It is ashame that Mr. Macdonald didn't do what I did, which is to file a IC3 report with the FBI. Breaking into some one's e-mail account is a Federal offense, leading in Jail time. It's an amazing thing when you think that you can escape these sorts of things, knowing that all computers and locations everywhere have a special IP# for tracking. Even cell phones can be tracked.

I believe everything that was told to the media by this gentlemen and people should beware of this woman. Her past and paths only lead to destruction for people. I for one, am now in a great situation and look where and what she has. A BIG FAT ZERO. No Chimpanzees, no home, no money, no land, no man, NOTHING.

As someone once said "what goes around comes around".

A Great Summary About Jeanne Rizzotto

http://www.billingshousingmarket.com/2010/03/red-lodge-gone-crazy-of-course-part-2.html

Doug has done a great job in writing his article about Jeanne Rizzotto. For those that don't know her, this is quite an education. For those of you that do know "of her" and perhaps you missed something, this is great reading material either way.

Has Jeanne Rizzotto Died?

According to Kulr8.com, Carbon County Real Estate Developer, Jeanne Rizzotto, no longer owns any property in the county.

Seems as though, Jeanne Rizzotto did not stand by the court's agreement of payments when she filed Bankruptcy, and now the bank has resumed ownership of her home and the bank assumed the property in which she had plans to develop an RV resort.

Jeanne Rizzotto states that her and her chimpanzees are happy, however when you read the comments below the article it seems as though she had made a trip to Florida, begging the Sanctuaries to take her Chimpanzees. A person by the name of Patty stated that Jeanne Rizzotto traveled in Florida without proper paperwork and health certificates. Another poster stated that Save The Chimps took in Connor and Kramer, Jeanne Rizzottos Chimpanzees.

I find this strange, since Jeanne Rizzotto has been noted many times in the media that her Chimps will only leave over her dead body. Does this mean that Jeanne Rizzotto is now longer with us? No longer can steal money, write bad checks, ruin peoples lives and financial situations? (all of this information can be found on this blog) I wonder.

This information can be found at the following link;

Look who's at it again, Gini Valbuena

Now she's calling herself Chimpencounter Florida/The Great Ape Experience.
Poor Eli. I'm still wondering what happen to the last young Chimpanzee she just finished doing encounters with, Noah. In about 2 years, I suspect Eli will be somewhere else too. No wonder she states on her website that they aren't monsters, because she doesn't keep them long enough to become that. It's called sexual maturity. You would "think" that a woman that has 40+ years (as she states) would know that important information and be willing to share the "truth" about Chimpanzees, adult, Chimpanzees that is!

From the Fall of 2008 Through 2009 – The Chimpanzee Year in Review

This past year has been one of sadness, sorrow, change, and hope. I would like to take this opportunity, as we begin 2010, to reflect back and highlight the changes that we now, hopefully, are really beginning to see as the world’s attitude towards privately owned chimpanzees, and primates in general, change in a positive way.

The highlights begin, actually, late in the fall of 2008 when our chimps, Mikey and Louie, the two busiest and most popular working chimpanzees in America, retired to Little Rock Zoo. I wanted them to have a future as part of a family of chimps, and to have a safe and permanent home that they could live their life as chimpanzees, not a member of the human society.

In November of 2009, Connor and Kramer the chimpanzees owned by private pet owner Jeanne Rizzotto escape from her home near Red Lodge, Montana. They spent over an hour running loose, crossing highways and entering neighbor’s property. Connor, a habitual biter as described in court papers filed after the incident, bites a woman on the arm as she tries to keep him out of her home, losing 6-8 inches of skin from her arm. Rizzotto is told to keep the chimps in quarantine at her home while health officials investigate the incident. Rizzotto claims the chimps were let out by a vandal that had cut a lock, however that remains unproven. All of these articles have been posted on this Simian Library.

In February, 2009, tragedy strikes, and the world’s attention turns to the issue of private ownership of chimpanzees. On a cold afternoon in Stamford Connecticut, Travis the Chimpanzee attacks a long time friend of owner Sandra Herold named Charla Nash in Herold’s driveway. Travis is shot and killed by a patrol officer as the 14 year old, 200 pound male chimpanzee; tries to pry open the door of his patrol car as he responded to the tragedy. Nash is rushed to the hospital, and remains in a coma for months.

Weeks later, in early March, the US House of Representatives passes the Captive Primate Safety Act, banning sales of all primates across state lines. The bill moves on to the senate, where it still sits, not being acted on, to this day.

In late November, 2008, neighbors turned in a couple in Houston, Texas for a chimpanzee living in a garage in a suburban neighborhood. Fred Henry, now known simply as Henry, was over fifteen years old and had been living in the garage in a cage for 15 years. Weighing only 65 pounds, about 100 pounds underweight, the emaciated chimp is taken to the local SPCA where veterinarians and animal officials nurse him back to health. On Feb 23, 2009, Henry is moved to Chimp Haven in Shreveport, LA to live out the rest of his life with other chimps in a safe and enriching environment.

Later in March, a chimpanzee named Timmy escapes from his owners’ home in rural Missouri. The owner, Mary Overton, was a former director of The Simian Society of America, a group that promotes and encourages private primate ownership. Timmy is shot and killed by a police officer as he attempts to pry open the door to the officer’s patrol car. Investigators charge all residents of the home with animal cruelty, as they find a “puppy mill” on the premises, with dead dog carcasses scattered throughout the property and over a hundred sick and undernourished animals, including several monkeys.

On March 4, 2009 Nightline on ABC airs over fifteen minutes of footage taken by a HSUS undercover worker at the University Of Louisiana Lafayette National Primate Research Center. The video shows acts of cruelty and inhumane treatment of chimpanzees, including scores of baby chimpanzees in a holding cell with no enrichment or even a blanket. The video brings new awareness to the plight of research chimpanzees, and turns up the pressure on the labs. A follow up investigation by the USDA, following the issuance of a 108 page complaint by the HSUS against the lab, reinforces the findings of the video taken.

Carole Noon, founder and director of Save the Chimps in New Mexico and Fort Pierce Florida passes away from pancreatic cancer at the age of 59. Noon, perhaps the world’s most famous chimpanzee advocate, founded Save the Chimps in 1997. She led the purchase of the former troubled Coulston Foundation research facility near Almagordo, New Mexico in order to rescue over 250 chimpanzees that had been used by the government for research, mostly from the space program in the 60’s and 70’s. The chimpanzees in her care, now numbering over 270, were being moved from New Mexico to the Florida facility, hailed as the largest chimpanzee sanctuary in the world. Noon left a legacy of care, compassion, and love for the species that will never be duplicated. The chimpanzee community misses her dearly.

In June, a news story from a Tampa Florida television station airs a story about a baby chimpanzee now residing at Big Cat Habitat in Sarasota, Florida, home of the Rosaire family of circus trainers. The chimpanzee, named Eli, was supposedly rejected at birth by his mother and is being raised by Kay Rosaire and Gini Valbuena. Valbuena, a long time buyer of baby chimpanzees that once described herself as being “addicted to chimpanzees”, is advertised in the news story as the chimps’ “full time nanny”.

Source

The Rosaire’s had a coming out baby shower for the chimp in June, asking the public to donate toys and diapers, as well as pay the price of admission.

In early September, Gini and the baby chimp are spotted at a winery in Florida, drinking mimosas and schmoozing with the public.

Later in September, “chimpanzee encounters” with the baby chimpanzee and Gini Valbuena, are being advertised on a play for fee basis on the Big Cat Habitat home page. The addiction continues.

On December 10, 2009 Tom, a 44 year old chimpanzee that lived the last 14 years at the wonderful Fauna Foundation in Canada, passed away. Tom had been a research chimpanzee for the first thirty years of his life, languishing in a five foot by five foot by seven foot high stainless steel cage. He was the victim of countless laboratory tests, biopsies, injections, and suffering. Tom was the face of Project R&R, aimed at releasing all chimpanzees from biomedical and invasive research, and the driving force behind the Great Ape Protection Act now before Congress. There are still 1400 chimpanzees used in biomedical research in the United States today.

On December 17^th, 2009, ten more chimpanzees arrived in Fort Pierce Florida as part of the Great Chimp Migration continues. Save the Chimps, the largest chimpanzee sanctuary in the world, transfers ten chimps at a time to the islands in the Florida facility as funds allow. An anonymous donor gave the $25,000 for this trip, and the Arcus Foundation has agreed to match all funds donated to Save the Chimps up until April of 2010. Start your year right – and donate to the Great Chimp Migration today!
