Butch was dumped loose at the Tree House, obviously a chained ‘pet’ who was no longer wanted. He is very nervous and clearly had been ill treated. Initially he shared a pen with Cassidy and Sundance, but soon began to bully the younger pair. He now shares with Matilda.
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.
