Adoption
of Max the Gorilla
Maxidor and the Johannesburg Zoo
Max, the crime fighter of the year is adopted by
Maxidor, the crime fighter of the decade
MAXIDOR has always had a profound responsibility to people and their safety.
It is with that same philosophy and vision in mind that we have decided to take another stand, namely, to care for our
community.
We heard of the plight of the Zoo and their need for financial aid and have
decided to adopt Max the gorilla. He is a gentle giant, one of the victims of our present society. The safety cocoon
provided by the Zoo needs to be protected. Max is the embodiment of our vision and that is why we have singled him out.
We view our adoption of Max as a long-term relationship. Max will become part of
our family as much as we will become part of his. We commit ourselves to be there for him and to support him through
anything. With him we will share the growth and changes of life and society in our country.
