Three baby chimpanzees were recently discovered heavily sedated and hidden inside luggage at Cairo Airport alongside trafficked reptiles, in an alleged smuggling attempt.
Chimpanzees are highly intelligent, emotional animals who belong with their families in the wild — not drugged, terrified, and transported as commodities.
Behind every wildlife trafficking case is immense suffering:
• babies taken from their mothers
• animals injured or killed during capture
• high mortality during transport
• long-term psychological trauma for survivors
The illegal wildlife trade is a global conservation and welfare crisis, fuelled by demand for exotic pets and rare animals. For now these little babies have found a safe place at Alexandria Zoo, but it goes without saying their lives have been turned upside down and undoubtedly they will never be able to be returned to the wild.
Please never support the exotic pet trade, and help raise awareness of the devastating cruelty behind it.
Wild animals belong in the wild. 🐒💔
In this video is a baby macaque from asia that was named Rio. When he got older his owner could no longer handle him so he looked for a person to rehome Rio too. Rio's owner ended up rehoming him to one of the most famous monkey tortures ever. Rio was brutally beaten & even had his tail cut off with a hatchet. Rio's life ended in a bucket of water which was where he drowned. Rio's final momments were spent wondering why the large species he learned to trust ended up taking his life.
The song is height of Callousness
