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 !"#
by Jim and $lison %ronin to pro&ide rehabilitation and a home for
chimpan'ees that had been badly treated.
(oday this )* acre sanctuary is home to *+ primates from fifteen
different species including )* chimps from ten different countries. (hese
chimps were originally taken from $frica for use in laboratories, circuses
and the tourist trade. (he ma-ority had been used as photographic props
on beaches. (ourists are encouraged to ha&e their photographs taken
with the .cute/ little monkeys on their shoulders, not knowing how badly
these small primates ha&e been treated. (he baby chimps are usually
dressed up in children/s clothes and forced to perform and when they
become adult and start to get more aggressi&e, they are fre0uently kept
calm with drugs. Many of the chimps rescued by Monkey World arri&ed
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. $t the centre &isitors can see how the monkeys are benefiting
from their life in natural surroundings and also learn about the animals
and the dangers they ha&e been through. It is possible to adopt a
monkey by gi&ing 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. (hey transport
hea&y loads and e&en gi&e children rides on the beach. 1owe&er, many of
these animals are neglected and 2,+++ of them ha&e been cared for by
the Donkey 3anctuary since it was started in !)! by Dr Elisabeth D
3&endsen. (here are now ten donkey farms in the 45 and Ireland but the
largest is in 3idmouth in the south6west of England where there are
currently 7++ donkeys being looked after.
(he donkeys that find a good life at the sanctuary ha&e not all been
neglected. 3ome 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.
(he Donkey 3anctuary is also in&ol&ed in ma-or pro-ects across the world
to gi&e free medical treatment and ad&ice to those people whose
li&elihood depends on their donkeys so that their animals ha&e a better
and healthier working life. In addition to this, it in&estigates possible
cases of animal abuse in many countries, in the tourist industry, festi&als
and markets.
(he Donkey 3anctuary depends on donations to keep going but its
3idmouth centre does not charge an admission fee and is open e&ery day
of the year. 8isitors can see the donkeys and also en-oy the wonderful
countryside they now li&e in.
