Janice Carter + Lucy the Chimpanzee
A Human couple adopted Lucy and raised her as if she was their own daughter. She learned to use sign language, could make tea for guests and even masturbate to Play Girl. eventually (over many years) she grew to strong and to much to handle. With much discussion and a year of research the couple decided it’d be best to release her into the wild. Janice Carter( in the photo above) helped move her to an island, but surprisingly couldn’t leave her. Janice has an incredible story of determination adapting Lucy to the wild. This is a photo of Jancie returning to the island a year later.
