Date of Arrival : 15th November 2013
Found in Bombay loose but with a dangling chain, she is probably an escaped monkey that was used for begging. She is used to being handled by people and we are already able to walk her in the garden. She was bought to us from Bombay by the PETA animal rescue group.
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.
