Monkey Helpline responds to more than 1000 rescue call-outs every year – an average of at least three monkey rescue call-outs every day, and their injuries range from wounds sustained during fights with other monkeys, dog bites, being run over by motor vehicles, electrocution, being snared, trapped or poisoned, being shot with air (pellet) guns, catapults, paint-ball guns and firearms and being caught-up or injured on security razor-wire. Many are babies who are orphaned or injured when mother monkeys are attacked by dogs or other monkeys, or are severely injured or killed in human-related incidents. Over eighty percent of the monkeys we rescue, irrespective of the reason why, have got air gun pellets lodged in their bodies. A number of rescues each year concern monkeys who are simply sick, debilitated by illness, and once treated and recovered they are easily, but correctly, released back into their home territory.

​

Lead pellets cause terrible pain, suffering and a lingering death and no person, adult or child, should ever shoot at a monkey, or any other animal with an air gun!Steve 082 659 4711 Carol 082 411 5444
