Project Chimps cleared its last legal hurdle for bringing the chimpanzee retirees to Fannin County.  The Fannin County Board of Commissioners agreed to Project Chimps exotic animal application at the Commissioners’ meeting last night.  There was no dissenting discussion from any of the Commissioners. At the end of the meeting, Post-Commissioner Earl Johnson thanked Project Chimps for showing him around their facility.  He said that he looks forward to you (Project Chimps) doing good things with your cause.

FetchYourNews will soon meet with Project Chimps to find out when the first group of retirees will arrive at their Fannin County retirement home.
