Monkey in a bird cage
Op de markt in Tanger vond ik nadat ik een tip had gekregen deze aap, die zak in een vogekooitje en werd te koop aangeboden. Helaas is dit nog overal normaal en wordt er weinig aan gedaan. Inmiddels is deze aap in beslag genomen door mijn aangifte en naar Rabat Zoo verhuisd waar hij in een groter verblijf mag leven met soortgenoten. Maar goed, het diertje had natuurlijk in het bos moeten blijven waar het thuishoort!

At the market in Tanger I found this little monkey in a bird cage after somebody told me about it. It was for sale. Unfortunately this is still very common in Morocco and not much is being done about it. This little monkey has been confiscated after I warned the authorities and has been moved to Rabat Zoo where he can live his life in a larger cage with other monkeys. But needless to say, this monkey should have stayed in the forest where it belongs!
