Recently Sheryll Murray MP visited Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary near Looe. She said, "I love taking people to this important attraction because I know that the gate money is so important to take good care of these rescued animals. Wild Futures is a UK primate welfare and conservation charity rescuing, campaigning, educating and providing sanctuary to primates in need. None of the animals come from the wild. They come to Looe to find a place where they can socialise and have a safe forever home. I was at first concerned about Jackie, the Capuchin Monkey of which I am one of the adopters, as she was not in her usual location. However, on asking, the staff did explain that Jackie was okay and just taking a break from the public areas as she was getting a little stressed. It is fantastic that the keepers take such good care of the monkeys. Jackie was born in 1988 and arrived in the sanctuary in 2005 after living for over 17 years in a converted garage. She had developed type 2 diabetes from incorrect feeding and is now on daily medication to help her condition. I have been doing what I can to help stop the pet trade in monkeys and have been working with Wild Futures and the government to help achieve this. The Monkey Sanctuary do such fantastic work and I can’t think of a better place to take visitors where their money makes such a difference to our primate friends".
