Its World Monkey Day. While The World Readily Awai..

While the world readily awaits the vaccine for Covid-19, we have to remember that the vaccine is possible due to the many tests done on our primate cousins. Whilst many have suffered for the benefit of mankind, we can still show our gratitude by treating them better in the wild.

What can you do?

1) Do not feed them

Feeding monkeys humans food makes them vulnerable to many illnesses due to the high levels of oil, salt and sugar in our processed foods.

2) Dispose of your rubbish responsibly

They are naturally curious and will rummage and tear through garbage. So always put your waste in the right bins and secure them.

3) Respect them

Please do not tease, threaten or aggravate them. This has the potential of making them violent towards humans in general.

4) Enjoy them in the wild

Do not buy or keep primates as pets. Many do not survive till adulthood and they deserve to live their lives freely.
