Good to be rescued! A female white-eared marmoset monkey in the UK was rescued and placed in the Monkey World 2 years ago by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) after being brutally abused by her former owner, and now she has learned to trust again in the company of her "boyfriend".
According to comprehensive foreign media reports, the white-eared marmoset named "Milly" has a bumpy fate, its former owner Vicki Holland is a drug dealer, Millie was raised by the former owner, was very inhumane abuse, like throwing Millie in the toilet and pressing the flushing valve to flush it down, and the weak and helpless Millie could only keep the toilet wall to keep herself from being washed away.
Not only that, Holland has also applied cocaine to his fingers, to be afraid to shrink in the corner of Millie to lick off, and even feed it the kebabs, hamburgers and processed ham that humans eat, but the white-eared marmoset monkey living in South America should eat insects and fruits in the wild.
All of this was only revealed 2 years ago, during a drug raid by the British police, when the Home of Holland was also found to be worth 1,600 pounds of cocaine. The report pointed out that during the trial of the case, as many as 22 videos of the abuse of Millie were found on Holland's mobile phone.
Later, Millie was rescued by Inspector Sophie Daniels of the RSPCA and placed in the "Ape World". Dr. Alison Cronin, the director of Ape World, also appeared as a witness at the time, accusing Holland of his cruelty, "He has lived in fear all his life, suffered cruel abuse, the worst situation I have seen in more than 30 years of rescuing primates, Millie will never recover from her (Hollander)'s abuse, and it will be psychologically hurt for the rest of its life." 」
Steph Sawyer, head of the Little Monkey Zone at Ape World, also said that after Millie was relocated, she still had difficulty adapting to the new environment and was afraid of people, "It would shrink its body, avoid everyone it encountered, and any loud noise or sudden movement would make it make a sharp scream and then run to find a place to hide."
Fortunately, all this slowly changed after the arrival of another male white-eared marmoset, Moon, RSPCA said, "Moon will react quickly to Millie's emergency call for help, standing by her side to protect it, which helps Millie learn to trust again." Now they are as inseparable as the lovebirds, and Dr. Cronin also said, "The key to saving Millie is her companions, with Moon by her side, it can finally relax and enjoy life." 」 (The report notes that Moon is a marmoset monkey also rescued from the British pet trade.) ）
Holland, the former owner who abused Millie, was sentenced to 12 weeks' probation, a £600 fine, and a lifetime ban on keeping animals for violating the Animal Welfare Act, as well as a 20-month prison sentence for possessing drugs with intent to provide them.
