Female baboon attacked

This morning we were called by the local vet to go and pick up a female baboon from a housing area about 2 km away. She was lying on the ground surrounded by people when we got there. We sedated her using a blow dart and brought her back to the Trust’s vet clinic for examination. She had been hit a number of times with sticks or rocks and was in a very poor state. Perhaps she was trying to steal food from peoples houses or fields. She is very old. We put her on a glucose drip and treated her with antibiotics. She is now stabilized but it is not certain if she will survive the night.
