Primates at WRR
Primates who live at the Wildlife Rescue &
Rehabilitation (WRR) sanctuary have been rescued from one
of three situations: They have been held and used in laboratories,
kept in sub-standard conditions in roadside zoos and attractions,
or have been inappropriately and often inhumanely kept as
so-called "pets."
Once they arrive at WRR they are given time
to acclimate to their new surroundings before being introduced
to their new companions and new home. The primate enclosures
are about one acre and all have trees, native grasses, rocks,
and bushes as part of the natural terrain. These enclosures
also have above-ground cement pools. All of the enclosures
have fully heated buildings which the monkeys can access at-will
during the winter months. In the spring and summer they often
like to use them as private quarters to spend some time indoors.
All the primates at WRR are given a daily
diet of fresh fruits and vegetables. They are also offered
monkey chow biscuits and peanut butter sandwiches as part
of their diet. Because of the size and natural settings in
which they live, the monkeys always have access to roots,
leaves, sprouts, insects, and other elements of interest.
