Indeed, this is the problem. If animals were treated that badly - and they were- how can you stay at such a place as a director? I understand that...
They are looking for a new animal director and a vet: VACANCIES ยป EAZA
To transfer the animal DG has certainly asked for the health-cetificate (TRACE), without the spanish zoo cannot receive the animal. So the...
the spider monkeys that are managed (hybridus, paniscus and fusciceps rufiventris) are supposed to be pure. Other (sub-)species are not managed.

Of course it is, especially for species like lemurs. And who has seen the enclosure for this species in Apenheul knows that is is not very good...

I think that the Kiki case is very different. She was supposed to live with the friendly Kumba, but he died early. There are several cases of...
I guess it was the same situation as with Komale and some other males: these males were expelled from their natal group, are too old to be...

why not training them to clean their own cage, and grow their own food? Or provide them building materials and train them to build their own...
maybe if most of the animals would indeed be pure verus, and if Wingham would cooperate to the EEP, that opinion could be different, as new...
Maybe the chimp EEP wants Yerkes to solve (and pay) their own "problems", instead of sending their hybrids to Europe, while there are many chimps...
