Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Three baby chimps were kidnapped from a sanctuary. Their abductors are demanding a ransom
Kidnappers broke into an animal sanctuary in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) on September 9 trying to kidnap the owner’s children. Fortunately, they weren’t there. Unfortunately, there were five baby chimpanzees that had been rescued, and three of them were taken away. The kidnappers sent messages and a video of the abducted chimps to the owner and demanded a ransom. It is the first of this kind of animal kidnapping from a sanctuary in DRC. The owner is determined not to pay the ransom to avoid further kidnapping in his and other sanctuaries. Indeed. In order to get a baby chimp, the entire family of eight-to-10 chimps might be killed in the jungle. In other words, a baby chimp is precious to kidnappers. And it is easier for kidnappers to steal baby chimps from a sanctuary than to hunt and kill many other chimps in the jungle. We now just hope the kidnapped chimps are kept and raised safely.
Read the article and learn about what people could do just to make money.
