Svendsen. There are now ten donkey farms in the

UK and Ireland but the largest is in Sidmouth

in the south-west of England where there are

currently 400 donkeys being looked after.

The donkeys that find a good life at the sanctuary

have not all been neglected. Some come from caring

homes but because of a change in the owner’s

circumstances cannot be kept any longer and are

taken in by the sanctuary.

The Donkey Sanctuary is also involved in major

projects across the world to give free medical

treatment and advice to those people whose

livelihood depends on their donkeys so that their

animals have a better and healthier working life.

In addition to this, it investigates possible cases

of animal abuse in many countries, in the tourist

industry, festivals and markets.

The Donkey Sanctuary depends on donations

to keep going but its Sidmouth centre does not

charge an admission fee and is open every day of

the year. Visitors can see the donkeys and also

enjoy the wonderful countryside they now live in.

A SAFE HOME

Read about two animal sanctuaries in the south of

England.

Monkey World

Just outside Poole in Dorset there is a sanctuary

that has become famous throughout the world. It

is called Monkey World and was set up in 1987

by Jim and Alison Cronin to provide rehabilitation

and a home for chimpanzees that had been badly

treated.

Today this 65 acre sanctuary is home to 150

primates from fifteen different species including

65 chimps from ten different countries. These

chimps were originally taken from Africa for use

in laboratories, circuses and the tourist trade. The

majority had been used as photographic props

on beaches. Tourists are encouraged to have their

photographs taken with the ‘cute’ little monkeys

on their shoulders, not knowing how badly these

small primates have been treated. The baby

chimps are usually dressed up in children’s clothes

and forced to perform and when they become

adult and start to get more aggressive, they are

frequently kept calm with drugs. Many of the

chimps rescued by Monkey World arrived with a

drug dependency.

Monkey World is a sanctuary for these animals

but another of its missions is to increase awareness

of the plight of young monkeys like these

worldwide. At the centre visitors can see how the

monkeys are benefiting from their life in natural

surroundings and also learn about the animals and

the dangers they have been through. It is possible

to adopt a monkey by giving a donation to the

sanctuary and gain free access to the centre for a

year.

Donkey Sanctuary

Donkeys are used all round the world to help

mankind. They transport heavy loads and even

give children rides on the beach. However, many

of these animals are neglected and 12,000 of them

have been cared for by the Donkey Sanctuary

since it was started in 1969 by Dr Elisabeth D
