| This is a Baby monkey that was confiscated by DENR officials and turned over. Notice the chain on the waistline and the swollen hand. The hand swelling has gone down somewhat in the last 2 days. It was due either to a snare used to capture it, or a string they had tied on the hand. At the least 2 fingers will have to be amputated as they are necroptic now. This makes me so angry. People catch these and sell them for pets. After people get them and they grow up, they cant handle or feed them any longer, so give them up or turn them loose. People dont realize they have strict social pacts here, and if introduced back into the wild, they will be killed by another group 9 out of 10 times. This poor little guy will have to be placed at another facility where he can be treated and kept. They have lots of monkeys on hand there, and the same story, all were orphaned or rescued, and cant be returned back to the wild as they will be killed. They have started their own little social groups there, but out of fear of reprisals of other groups, they cant be released. It is so sad that the number of these being kept, traded, sold, and captured is so high. |
