JOAN: VICTIM OF A HIT AND RUN

Earlier this month, we received a call regarding a long-tailed macaque who had been hit by a vehicle at the junction of Jalan Anak Bukit and Dunearn Road and subsequently left injured in the road.

Joan, as we named her, was rushed to the skilled veterinary team at the Animal Recovery Veterinary Referral Centre (ARVRC). Thankfully, Joan survived her ordeal, but she sustained serious injuries including a dislocated jaw and abrasions on her face and shoulder, as well as suffering from concussion.

It was noticed that Joan was lactating, meaning that she has a nursing infant. The staff at the ARVC are trying their best to speed up her treatment so that she can get back to her troop and her infant as quickly as possible.

We are extremely grateful to Dr. Ly and the ARVRC staff, including Sabrina Jabbar for giving Joan the very best care possible and for generously covering the cost of her treatment.

We hope to bring you news of Joan�s successful release back to the wild as soon as we can.
