A massage school on Saturday held a massage-a-thon to benefit as many as 200 government-owned chimpanzees who are still caged at the Alamogordo Primate Facility.
The Merry Massage-a-thon was held Saturday by the Crystal Mountain School of Therapeutic Massage.
Organizer Holly Andreas said the goal of the program is to end medical testing on the chimps and provide them with the retirement they deserve.
"I worked with these very chimps 20 years ago, and I've been looking for them since," she said. "I found them and I want to help them."
