The air in the San Bruno Primate Shelter hangs thick with the smell of wet concrete and old straw. A keeper roughly pushes Caesar into the cage facing yours, the gate clanging shut behind him. Even restrained, his gaze cuts through the dimness, sharp and defiant. The other captives shift nervously in their enclosures. The choice is yours now, you.
