The Scots charity, New Arc, has rescued over 16,000 animals since 2006.
Three monkeys have been rescued by an animal charity after they were found being kept as pets and locked up in a tiny parrot cage.
Pictures have shown the cage, which is covered in rust, leaving barely enough space for just one monkey - with New Arc revealing their findings have suggested at least six monkeys could have been kept in the enclosure at one stage. New Arc normally rescue domestic animals such as rabbits and gerbils but were stunned to discover Mama, Mila and Mycroft living in the parrot cage with little space or heating and no stimulation.
