Letter From the editor It has been a very eventful year celebrating our 25th anniversary. We have had many new arrivals at the park, our building and maintenance team have worked non-stop rebuilding, expanding, and improving many monkey and ape houses and enclosures, we continue to campaign and collect signatures for our Pet Trade Petition, we held numerous events celebrating our 25 years, our rehabilitation and release work in Vietnam continues, and we have received 3 awards this year, the last inducting Jim into the Dorset Hall of Fame. He would have been so happy with all of these achievements. Charity No. 1126939 We now have more than 57,000 signatures - up from 31,000 at the time of the last ARC!! Our target is 100,000 so please help us UK Charity No. 1115350 to get people to sign for the sake of all the monkeys currently kept in the legal British pet trade. The legal trade in primates as pets in Britain continues to be a big problem for us and more tragically for the hundreds of monkeys that are kept in solitary confinement as pets in Britain today. Please help us with our campaign to give ALL monkeys the legal right to specialist care by getting a copy of our Pet Trade Petition and collecting signatures from family, friends, colleagues, or schoolmates. Over the past few months many people have helped with our rescue and rehabilitation work by donating goods such as fruit, vegetables, nuts, dried fruit, seeds, dog biscuits, garlic, peanut butter, honey, jam, vitamins, fleece blankets, sheets, towels, blankets, duvet covers, curtains, hessian sacks, heavy dog toys, tub trugs, baskets, “really useful” boxes, fire hose, rope, ladders, un-used stamps, A PE R ESCUE C HRONICLE medical supplies, biscuits for the team here at the park, and hand made cards to be sold in the shop. We also have received more excellent photos that adoptive parents and visitors have taken at the park. Our Linen/Bedding Appeal has been great with people Issue: 53 Winter 2012 clearing out their airing cupboards. We have had the help of several groups of volunteers to fold, stack, and store all of your donations that will be much appreciated over the winter months. We have also been getting donations from the Charities Aid Foundation and Give as You Earn scheme. We have received several donations and some have raised money by organising collection tins, donations instead of birthday presents, used DVD and CD stalls, old toy sales, sponsored bike rides, sponsored swims, and sponsored fun runs. All of your donations are put to use – thank you so much. In particular we would like to thank Verwood Pet Shop who continue to collect donations for the monkeys and apes, Graham Milliner for donating building materials and fixings, Asda, Tesco, and Co-Op for giving loads of pumpkins for the monkeys and apes over Halloween, Lamberts Healthcare for giving us nutritional supplements, SW Ambulance Service Trust for donating needles for our hospital, Jason Corbett who raised money at the Scottish Tattoo Convention, the Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation and the Charity Committee of the BP Andrew Offshore Installation for generous donations, Paragon Laundry for two cages of towels, and Iris, Pauline, and Janice Norris for a thoughtful and generous donation. Special thanks go to Euro Tunnel and Breeze Volkswagen who helped transport Hsiao-ning to Rostock Zoo. Thank you all so much. Many people have lost loved ones over the past few months, including our Monkey World family. In July Mike’s partner, Jeremy Jones, passed away unexpectedly. Jeremy was a regular visitor to the park and was always ready to help out whatever the need. My thoughts are with Mike during this difficult time - Jeremy will be greatly missed. Our condolences also go out to the family and friends of Sabine Du’Verne-Harrison, Audrey Starling, Ray Robinson, Abi Haythorne, David Watkins, Shirley Sims de Martinez, Janet Harris, Walter Phillips, Jean Birch, Janet Hezlett, Betty Jenkins, Maureen Dickson, David Court, Marianne Searle, Rosemary Snell, Mary Guess, Dudley Loud, Doris Ottaway, Dorothy Webb, Emma Lewthwaite, Rosemary Jennings, Victoria Turvey, John Mauger, Betty Wigglesworth, Mrs. D Charters, Mrs. J Mann, Mr. R Higgs, Janet Underhill, Michael Dicker, and Carol Lee. They will be greatly missed. Without your support Monkey World would not be able rescue and rehabilitate monkeys and apes from around the world. We are proud to have the best captive facilities in the world for the care and welfare of our rescued primates and we are committed to maintain this high standard. Indeed, some of you may have noticed a new enclosure in the oak woodland leading down to the capuchin complex. As I write this plans have already been made for Jeremy and I to go and collect our next new arrivals and as it happens they will arrive on Jim’s birthday. Happy Birthday Jim, Happy Anniversary to everyone at Monkey World, and Merry Christmas to you all.

    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.

    APE RESCUE CENTRE Risk Assessment for School & Group

    MONKEY WORLD – APE RESCUE CENTRE Risk Assessment for School & Group Educational Visits 2020/21 Please note: We are a primate rescue and rehabilitation centre and not a zoo, as such the majority of our primates have been abused, neglected and exploited. We would be grateful if you could remind your students of this fact prior to entering our park. We have offered our rescued monkeys and apes sanctuary, free from abuse of any kind and we will not tolerate any behaviour from visitors that causes distress to our primates in anyway e.g. shouting, screaming, banging on the viewing windows, running up and down outside enclosures, throwing items into the enclosures, feeding our primates etc. Visitors that do not abide by the rules of entry to the park will be asked to leave and no refund will be given. Risk Assessment Guidance Monkey World operates under the auspices of the Zoo Licensing Act. We are subject to annual inspections from Enforcement Officers who look at the way we take care of our Primates and the safety of Staff and Visitors. The licence has to be renewed every six years. We strongly recommend that group organisers make a pre-visit to Monkey World and carry out their own risk assessment. We allow one free entry per class/group which is available on request when booking your visit. In the event that a pre-visit is impossible, this document provides a general outline of the risks and controls identified. It is essential that all children are supervised throughout their visit to us and that all attending the visit understand the following: the aims and objectives of the visit how to avoid specific dangers and why they must follow rules why safety precautions are in place and standard of behaviour is expected who is responsible for the Group what to do if approached by anyone outside the Group what to do if separated from the Group the time and place of departure of the Group that in an emergency situation e.g.

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.
