Bunty was dumped at the tree house at about 8 months old. Because she is quite small and non threatening we thought the monkeys would accept her moving in to their territory to replace one of our older dogs we had lost.
As we hoped, she was quickly accepted by them as harmless.
The Primate Trust was founded by Jo and John Hicks (the same founders of IAR) it provides long term care to orphaned, abused and injured primates. This work is essential due to the loss of natural habitat, human conflict causing an increasing number of injured and orphaned monkeys. Other monkeys are rescued for being illegally kept as pets and for begging, often in appalling conditions.
