Animal welfare organisations must work togther
Monkey Helpline are doing tremendous work in assisting sick and injured monkeys, many of whom would die a slow and painful death were it not for their intervention.
EDITOR – It saddens me to read about the bickering between the NSPCA and Monkey Helpline.
Monkey Helpline are doing a tremendous work in assisting sick and injured monkeys, many of whom would die a slow and
painful death were it not for their intervention. I thought the SPCA was committed to helping animals?
Why then, instead of accusing Monkey Helpline of cruelty, don’t they assist them in overcoming obstacles they regard as cruel? What is more cruel, to leave a sick or injured monkey to die a slow painful death or capture it and nurse it back to health?
Why is there always so much bickering between the various animal welfare organisations? It is not only between these two that this is happening.
One always wants to try and prove they are better than the other and it is the animals that are deprived in the end.
Come on SPCA you can’t go it alone. Why not guide and assist other animal welfare organisations and all try and work together. Be the voices of the animals that can’t speak.
Monkey Helpline are doing tremendous work. They need support not criticism.
