A monkey that was hit by a car while running loose in Laredo is getting a second chance at life at Born Free USA's South Texas Primate Sanctuary.
A monkey that sustained serious injuries after being hit by a car in Laredo is getting a second chance at life at a South Texas sanctuary. The animal was running loose on Valentine's Day when it was struck by a car in the Webb County city. The monkey suffered serious head injuries and was rushed to a local vet clinic, where staff named him Pablito, according to a press release from animal welfare and conservation nonprofit Born Free USA.
” She criticized the 'cruel' primates-as-pets trade for tearing babies away from their mothers at just a few weeks old and forcing the animals to endure unnatural lives that “often end with them being permanently caged when they become too dangerous for owners to handle.” “I am delighted that Pablito’s story did not end in a cage or on that Laredo road,” she added. Pablito received a health check upon his arrival at the sanctuary that found he was both underweight and anemic.
