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.

What about ann coulters attack on 9/11 widows calling them the witches of new brunswick and "harpies". RT wing self destruction underway in one huge temper tantrum as the country moves in the opposite direction. Even Bushes attempt to support that gay marriage amendment along with flag burning bull shit is turning boy wonder karl rove into an aging asshole. Not to mention rt winger racism on immigration and tax cuts uber alles (and i am a tax cutter supreme).
Again i ask what ever happened to ronald reagan's big tent? Idiots like coulter, limbaugh, savage, hannity and oreilly along with house republicans and the feckless bush are toast.
