Toto Goes Home

The amazing heartwarming story of Toto the chimpanzee. Snatched from the wild as a baby, Toto was sold to a circus and toured South America for over twenty years, chained by the neck and living in a packing crate. Then in an incredible mission, Toto was rescued from the circus and returned to Africa.

See Toto's loneliness finally end when, for the first time in over two decades, he embraces a fellow chimpanzee. Enjoy Toto's incredible adventure as he explores the African bush.

If you are interested in being a part of our Toto Adoption Program which provides the very best care for Toto at his new home, please contact ADI at 1-800-978-ADII (2344)

[rockinfortheplanet]

A fantastic rescue by ADI, thank you to you and and your supporters, this film is a joy to watch and vital, excellent work for the voiceless.

[animaldefenders]

Thank you for your support!

One cannot put a price on the life of an animal. Why would 10 dogs be more valuable than one chimpanzee? Would you rather see 10 people saved over one of your family members? Each individual life matters. If it were so easy to just "outlaw live circus animal shows," we would just do that and save our money for other projects. But there are laws that protect these cruel people, and until circus shows are banned we will be saving individual lives and working toward shutting down cruel circuses.

The only thing worse than you misguided moonbats is your propaganda to push this weltenschaung.

[animaldefenders]

How can you call this propaganda? It's a documentary of a true story. The viewer is left to their own opinion.

This is such a great video that it should be shown everywhere, especially to school children. Thank you ADI for doing such wonderful work in helping to save these beautiful animals. I will do what I can to help your organization.

By now Toto is prolly living with the other adult chimps.

[Frankwolf100]

That was an amazing story, I can't believe I cried!

ADI was not aware about Toto's situation until they get in contact to Elba Muños' rehabilitation center in Peñaflor. The center was contacted by the Chilean governmental service SAG (farming-rancher service) and by CITES they get in contact with ADI. It was thanks to a TV program that all Chilean people know about Toto's history.

Toto was rehabilitated in the Center and with the help of volunteers and ordinary people they get to reach Toto's rehab.

ADI can't take all credit 4 Toto's rescue

Fantastic! 

[lacamaradebarrild]

I think you forgot to mention that it was a good cooperative work together with Centro de Rehabilitacion de Primates in Peñaflor, Chile. They together with the volunteers built toto's temporary home and took care of him for the months he was in Chile waiting for Chimfunshi.

Your job was good but you dint make it alone.

My poor babies!

Let us all treat animals with the respect they deserve. SAY NO TO ZOOS AND CIRCUSES!

[mirepunich]

Life is valuable. Toto has a life. Therefore.

hahahahahaha!! i was linking this to another toto

Thank you to all for your dedication and hard work with rescuing not only toto, but all the animals. I did have one concern and i'm sure you have it covered. How do you teach chimps like Toto who never saw a jungle for all intent and purposes about the dangers in the compound, snakes and so  forth. What to eat and how to get a drink from a stream, make a day/night nest. It may be a year until he is with chimps old enough to show him anything.
