The Israel Primate Sanctuary is receiving and treating smuggled monkeys that were confiscated by police. The director of the sanctuary warns that keeping wild monkeys as pets causes suffering and poses health risks. The trade in wild animals, including monkeys, has grown in recent years, breaking the hearts of those involved. The monkeys, captured in Africa, were brought to Israel through the Jordanian or Egyptian borders and were often kept in tiny cages. The sanctuary will quarantine the animals and conduct blood tests for diseases before integrating them into groups for rehabilitation.
