We first learned of Freddie's fate when Paul on our team noticed the chimpanzee winking in a seemingly random pattern. It later turned out that Freddie was winking SOS in Morse code,” one of the hacktivists responsible for the recent Mailchimp breach told BFA.

“It's absolutely inhumane to have Freddie the Chimp send out millions of emails every single day against his will, no matter how talented he is at copywriting… Hashtag FreeFreddie,” tweeted a PETA spokesperson.

When he’s finally free, Freddie hopes to go back to school and pursue his dreams of becoming a speech pathologist so that he can actually help people — something he is deeply passionate about.
