AVA Rescues Monkey, Civet Caged At Workshop

MACAQUE AND CIVET RESCUED FOLLOWING TIP-OFF TO ACRES

�Mr Louis Ng, chief executive of the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Acres), the group that alerted the authorities, said both animals were kept under poor conditions.

Civets are nocturnal creatures, so keeping one where there is a lot of noise and light is cruel, while confining the macaque to a small cage is a form of abuse, he said.�

Please support the new ACRES Animal Crime Investigation Unit, and help us wipe out such animal cruelty and wildlife crime. You can help by supporting the ACRES 14th Anniversary Gala Dinner on the 23rd of May! More details here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1661597487401526/
