are usually dressed up in children’s clothes

and forced to perform and when they become

adult and start to get more aggressive, they are

frequently kept calm with drugs. Many of the

chimps rescued by Monkey World arrived with

a drug dependency.

Monkey World is a sanctuary for these animals

but another of its missions is to increase

awareness of the plight of young monkeys like

these worldwide. At the centre visitors can see

how the monkeys are benefiting from their life

in natural surroundings and also learn about

the animals and the dangers they have been

through. It is possible to adopt a monkey by

giving a donation to the sanctuary and gain

free access to the centre for a year.

Donkey Sanctuary

Donkeys are used all round the world to help

mankind. They transport heavy loads and even

give children rides on the beach. However,

many of these animals are neglected and

12,000 of them have been cared for by the

Donkey Sanctuary since it was started in 1969

by Dr Elisabeth D Svendsen. There are now

ten donkey farms in the UK and Ireland but

the largest is in Sidmouth in the south-west of

England where there are currently 400 donkeys

being looked after.

The donkeys that find a good life at the

sanctuary have not all been neglected. Some

come from caring homes but because of a

change in the owner’s circumstances cannot be

kept any longer and are taken in by the sanctuary.

The Donkey Sanctuary is also involved in

major projects across the world to give free

medical treatment and advice to those people

whose livelihood depends on their donkeys so

that their animals have a better and healthier

working life. In addition to this, it investigates

possible cases of animal abuse in many

countries, in the tourist industry, festivals and

markets.

The Donkey Sanctuary depends on donations

to keep going but its Sidmouth centre does not

charge an admission fee and is open every day

of the year. Visitors can see the donkeys and

also enjoy the wonderful countryside they now

live in.

SANCTUARIES

Read about two animal sanctuaries in the south

of England.

Monkey World

Just outside Poole in Dorset there is a sanctuary

that has become famous throughout the world.

It is called Monkey World and was set up in

1987 by Jim and Alison Cronin to provide

rehabilitation and a home for chimpanzees that

had been badly treated.

Today this 65 acre sanctuary is home to

150 primates from fifteen different species

including 65 chimps from ten different

countries. These chimps were originally taken

from Africa for use in laboratories, circuses and

the tourist trade. The majority had been used

as photographic props on beaches. Tourists

are encouraged to have their photographs

taken with the ‘cute’ little monkeys on their

shoulders, not knowing how badly these small

primates have been treated. The baby chimps
