Thoughts about the dead female baboon
Category: Primate Rescue/Rehabilitation | Date: Feb 13 2007 | By: admin
Man can never justify his innocence if the current trend is to continue. A week will hardly pass without cases of forest clearing for reasons of construction. Animals are never the beautiful radiances that were in our faces two years ago. The painful feeling that teared me apart with rage was that of a baboon found lying helplessly in a market place without water and food. How can we be so hypocritical to our own nature? We cut down trees in the name of building houses we never complete, no occupants! Monkeys are stranded in front of houses claiming what is rightfully theirs, they have no trees to stride on. What a big shame, why do have to complain about monkeys raiding our homes? You have to act now!!
What is happening now where monkeys are constantly putting a brave face into raiding houses for food is just a recipe of what is in store for man. The truth of the matter is that a monkey does not exist except for its habitat we are taking it away for selfish reasons. We should all see the truth, we are all to blame. Do not complain so much. I will celebrate to receive back your selfish agenda on my monkeys - you are also a victim!! Sorry, how do you give water and food to a dead creature you just killed minutes ago?? Don’t pretend, answer me please. STOP AND THINK.

My name is Gwili Gibbon. I'm Assistant Manager at The Colobus Trust. I am a British ex-volunteer who returned to work at the Trust after university, truly a dream come true. I joined in October 2007 and work hard to do what we can with our limited budget and small, but hardworking, team of volunteers and staff. I am using the experience I have gained through my education (& time here) and intend to use it to do all I can to ensure the survival of Colobus angolensis palliatus and it's associated habitats.
