Excerpt: Monkey World ( fully referred to as Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre) is a 65-acre (26.3 ha) ape and monkey sanctuary and rescue centre near Wool, Dorset, England. Set up in 1987 by the late Jim Cronin, and later operated by both him and his wife Alison, it was originally intended to provide a home for abused chimpanzees used as props by Spanish beach photographers, but is now home to many different species of primates. Monkey World works with foreign governments to stop the illegal smuggling of wild primates. The facility made the news in January 2008 with what The Guardian called the world s biggest rescue mission of its kind, when it saved 88 capuchin monkeys from a laboratory in Santiago, Chile, where some of the animals had been kept in solitary cages for up to 20 years. The operation was carried out at the request of the laboratory, and with help from the Chilean Air Force, who flew the animals to Bournemouth airport with special permission from the British government. In August 2010 Monkey World rescued a Bornean Orang-utan called Oshine from Johannesburg, South Africa. On 7 December 2010 Monkey World rescued an orphan baby Sumatran Orang-utan called Silvestre from a zoo in Spain. In January 2011, Monkey World rescued a chimpanzee named Kiki from Lebanon. This thriving sanctuary was founded by Jim Cronin in 1987. He got inspired to build the sanctuary for which would home rescued primates, after Spain leased a legislation which banned the use of chimpanzees as props by photographers on beaches or any other resort. The photographers would acquire the chimpanzees from the wild after they were smuggled from their natural families(who would most certainly have to be killed in order to capture the babies) and shipped aboard into Spain where they were sold on the black market to be purchased by beach photographers. The chimpanzees would be dressed in human clothing and accessories, beaten to stay sedate, have most of their teeth knocked out to prevent them biting.
