Another rescue from cruel captivity
Category: Tacugama | Date: Aug 18 2008 | By: tacugama
Thursday night brought Tacugama the sad arrival of yet another chimp from the Gola Forest area. Some of the photos in this blog are not for the squeamish, sorry. He was found captive in a village in South East Sierra Leone, but again the circumstances of his capture are unclear as the villagers were unwilling to say much. When news of his existence spread, Gola Forest rangers confiscated him and drove him a long eight hours to Tacugama.
The chimp was carrying what we suspect to be a machete wound to his back and horrendous abrasion injuries to his sides as the result of metal, snare-type wire having been used to restrain him.
