PETA's Jared Goodman says Tonka was among numerous chimpanzees at the Missouri Primate Foundation, when a court ordered it shut down. "The concept that he could be hidden away somewhere where he continues to not have his complex needs met, makes this an incredibly urgent issue."
The owner of the Festus location says Tonka died, but Goodman says there are reasons to believe he may be alive.
