The late Simon and Peggy Templer were a British couple who lived in Spain, where they dedicated their later lives to rescuing mistreated chimpanzees used by photographers on beach resorts. Spain had become a focus of the trade in chimpanzees for the tourist industry, and these apes would be severely abused. Simon and his wife Peggy took on the role of persuading the Spanish authorities (Guardia Civil) to confiscate the chimps and provide them a more safe environment.[1]
