Goa is a state in Western India with coastlines stretching around the Arabian Sea. It has a population of over 1.8 million inhabitants and is one of India’s most visited places. Millions of tourists are attracted by the white sandy beaches, spleding, crystal clear waters and powerful culture sites.
Unfortunately, the region has a dark secret. A blatant and unreal abuse of innocent primates: hundreds of macaque monkey suffer a grim fate each year. They are severely neglected, captured by villagers and mistreated in the most inhumane way, including being set on fire. Later, they are chained up and left to die, for all sorts of abhorrent reasons. On most occasions, it is simply for their sheer amusement. Some other times, the monkeys simply wanted something to eat, but villagers claimed they were causing havoc in their communities.
Please take a look at the photos and take a stand against this monstrosity. This behavior against innocent animals is not normal. These innocent creatures deserve to live a normal life in their natural habitat, that is all they have asked for. They are forcefully removed from their natural habitat and mistreated for absolutely no reason. There is simply no excuse for this.
The most unpleasant part of it all is that the perpetrators escape unpunished almost every time and the authorities hare failed to toughen animal welfare laws.
The need for protecting these precious primates is more than obvious. Without them, the environment will never be the same.
Please take a moment to show your support for the monkeys of Goa and help stop this senseless pain. They have suffered enough!
Please re-consider a trip to India in case you have planned one
until the government of Goa takes our demands into consideration!
