I am an experi- enced monkey parent, having raised monks for over 20 years. This means I have the same little monks I rescued as juveniles. Please try loving your monks and “time out” as disci- plinary measures. It works!!! My monks have all their teeth! My older Java macaque Sonny had to have his removed for hyperplasia of the gums, a sec- ondary complication of insulin dependent diabetes, but still has his incisors in the back. Better to get the canines out than to use such a cruel form of “training” on monkeys. Here is a fact: Shocking a monkey does brain cell destruction. Eventually you will end up with a passive - damaged - tortured - little animal. Have any of those who are doing this ever had “shock treatments?” I have been a RN since 1973. I have cared for patients that have been shocked as a psych treatment and for cardioversion and cardiac arrest! It hurts like HELL!!! If this is the only way you can train your monks to behave, perhaps you should not have monks. Get a stuffed animal and then you won’t have to worry about them acting like “mon- keys”!!! I promise you, keep it up and it will come back to haunt you! Some people won’t get it unless they are zapped themselves! It can’t be soon enough! God help those poor little monks!!! Sincerely, Joie Hello, I was wondering where I could find a pet monkey. I have looked everywhere and have come up empty. If you have any suggestions please let me know. My name is Ryan. I am looking for a small friendly monkey that would be a good house pet, and would be good with children. I have heard from several different people that if you are to get one that you should get a baby, and not one that is already grown. Please let me know if you can find anything. Thanks, Ryan (Editor's note: Hi Ryan—The first thing you need to do is thoroughly educate yourself—either (Continued on next page) Spider monkeys 'Scooter" and "Chase" get down and dirty in a wres- tling match! Spider monkeys are the longest limbed commonly found monkey in captivity. Their long slender arms end in four-fingered hands that can be used as hooks when the spiders brachiate (hand over hand movements also made by the gibbon). Spider monkeys also use their prehensile tails as a fifth limb as they leap and swing their way through the trees. Their long arms and tail make for real body-to-body wrestling, as seen with Chase and Scooter. Spider monkeys can also hug as a greeting (casually positioned to sniff one another's scented armpit vicinity as they do) and they hug to make up with each other. (Photo from Tracy).....!

(Continued from page 2) buy The Monkey Matters Complete Guide to Care & Behavior—or borrow it from someone—it is the only book available that will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know to decide which type of monkey would be best for you. It is completely illustrated. There is a HUGE difference between species. They are a lot more difficult to raise than people first imagine.) Dear Monkey Matters, I would like to send a friend of mine (actually best friend), a gift subscription of Monkey Matters. I'm sure she will love it as I do. She has a vervet. Please, if you can, write "to Diane, Binky & Ster- ling with love from Dee Rocky and George". Thanks a lot, ali, the macaque, on monkey Dee K mom Rachel, is a head hug- ging girl!

  • SEPTEMBER Monkey Around with Amazing Animal Antics!
    SEPTEMBER Monkey around with amazing animal antics! How did the monkey make toasted cheese? It put it under the gorilla!!!! Monkeys usually live in family groups or troops and spend most of their day foraging for food, eating and sleeping! Chimpanzees eat fruit, berries, seeds, leaves, insects, honey and birds eggs. They are also skilled and deadly predators and hunt, kill and eat lizards, bush pigs and other monkeys! Chimps have hands like ours with 4 fingers and a short thumb, this means they can grasp and hold things. They are very intelligent and use tools to help them get their food. They use: sticks to dig out insects, like termites from termite mounds stones and rocks like a hammer to crack open hard-shelled nuts long branches to pull down branches of ripe fruit leaves to make sponges, they chew the leaves to make them soft and then use them to soak up water to drink In The Zoo, Belfast, it costs around £300 per week to feed the Chimpanzees with lots of fresh fruit and veg! What’s a monkey’s favourite fruit? Gra-apes!!!! Or maybe they prefer bananas! What is made from two banana skins? A pair of slippers!!!! Play some feeding-time fruity fun games! Who’s the Zoo Keeper? Equipment: 3 plastic or cardboard bananas o Choose 3 Beavers to be Zoo keepers and give each a banana o The remainder of the Colony are very hungry monkeys! Sitting in a circle on the floor, they make monkey noises, raise one arm and close their eyes o Choose only one Zoo keeper to give a monkey a banana! o Then the 3 Zoo keepers place their hands behind their backs, the ‘monkeys’ open their eyes and the one holding the banana has to guess which Zoo keeper ‘fed them’! The ‘monkey’ can only guess once, if correct the monkey and Zoo keeper change places.

    F A C T S H E E T Recent Primate Incidents Demonstrate Risks To Public Health and Safety, Animal Welfare November 2009 (Indiana): A woman was holding her 10-month-old granddaughter near an enclosure where a monkey was kept as a pet. The monkey pulled the hood of the girl’s coat, causing her head to strike the metal cage, and pulled her hair. The child was taken to the hospital and released that night. November 2009 (Tennessee): A capuchin monkey was found on a road. He had escaped from an SUV of a family vacationing in the area while they were eating at a restaurant, and was recaptured. November 2009 (Florida): A macaque monkey was on the loose outside a Pinellas County apartment complex. October 2009 (Kentucky): Authorities found a baboon being kept in the garage of a Kenton County home. The owners said they bought the animal from an Ohio dealer, and they surrendered her to a sanctuary. September 2009 (Florida): Authorities were looking for a pet patas monkey who had escaped from a Marion County home and been on the loose about two months. June 2009 (New Hampshire): An employee of a farm was severely bitten by a macaque monkey after leaving an enclosure unsecured. Macaques often carry Herpes B virus, and research published by the CDC concludes the health risk makes macaques unsuitable as pets. April 2009 (Oregon): A man brought a capuchin monkey in a diaper to a park. A 6-year-old girl approached and the animal jumped on her, causing two puncture wounds below her eye.

A Letter from IPPL’s Executive Director Shirley McGreal Dear IPPL Friend, The three days of this year’s biennial conference at IPPL Headquarters were wonderful days for staff, visiting supporters, speakers, and volunteers. We had gorgeous weather. The grounds looked wonderful, and we had lots of newly-planted trees, shrubs, and flowering plants. It took a while, but finally we lined up a great program with speakers from around the world. Getting visas and tickets was a little more hectic than usual. It was wonderful to meet old friends of IPPL like Edwin Wiek and Ofir Drori, whom I’d met at wildlife conferences. Ofir was very excited that his bookThe Last Great Ape had just been published. After the conference he went to Atlanta, where he appeared on CNN. Edwin Wiek of Thailand was eager to get animals seized in a recent violent raid on his sanctuary by Thai wildlife officials returned. It was a delight to meet Franck Chantereau of the J.A.C.K. Sanctuary (Jeunes Animaux Confisqués au Katanga/Young Animals Confiscated in Katanga). The facility is located in the city of Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The sanctuary was born of tragedy when fire took the lives of several young chimpanzees. But, rather than give up, Franck and his wife Roxane went on to found an excellent sanctuary with a strong educational component.
