Race on to save baboons from firing squad ITV.com ^ \| June 7, 2006 A British vet and an animal sanctuary are in a race against the clock to save a family of baboons from execution in Portugal. Five adult baboons and two young at a former zoo in the Iberian country will be put to death in eight weeks, by firing squad, unless help arrives soon. The deadline was imposed by the Portuguese authorities this week after the failure of a worldwide search to re-home the family of primates. (Pic: www.primates.com) Despite exhaustive efforts, the only help available came from a husband-and-wife team who run a sanctuary in Wales. Jan and Graham Garen operate the Cefn-yr-Erw Primate Rescue Centre charity, in Abercrave, in the Swansea Valley. They have stepped in with an offer of aid but are struggling to raise £5,000 to finish a vital quarantine block needed to house the animals. As the last lifeline for the family of seven, they fear that time is running out too rapidly for the Olive baboons. The zoo where the baboons live closed 12 years ago and conditions are now so poor the authorities believe euthanasia is the kindest option. itv.com
