Robert Ingersoll (BSc, MS) has been a tireless champion of captive chimpanzees since the 1970s. He entered the world of primates as an undergraduate student at the University of Oklahoma's Institute for Primate Studies.

When funding for the program was cut by the university, the chimpanzee colony was sold to a medical research laboratory for invasive research. This led him to a crusade to free his chimpanzee friends that has lasted decades.
