Shampoo and Hoy, two stunning long-tailed macaques, have recently arrived at WFFT after enduring years in a cramped cage, deprived of sunlight and freedom.
Bread and Yani: Rescued Performing Macaques on Their Journey to Healing
At WFFT, every animal has a story—often a heart-wrenching one. Bread and Yani are two macaques who endured unimaginable suffering as part of a cruel primate show.
Trained from infancy through harsh methods, Bread and Yani were forced to perform degrading tricks for the amusement of unaware tourists. Their early lives were marked by chains, deprivation, and punishment, all in the name of entertainment. Imagine their earliest memories: not of playing in the wild, but of painful training sessions, as they learned to ride bikes, use cutlery, and perform absurd stunts—sacrificing their well-being for profit.
Thanks to the generous support of the International Primate Protection League and the kindness of individuals like you, Bread and Yani are now recovering at WFFT. Here, they are beginning to heal from their past traumas and reclaim their lives.
You Can Make a Difference!
By choosing not to attend shows that exploit wildlife, you can help end these practices. We urge you to spread the word among friends and family about the realities behind these performances. Additionally, we are currently trying to close down a monkey zoo and show on Koh Samui. You can support this cause by adding your name to our letter: Sign the letter here.
Our ultimate goal is to integrate Bread and Yani into a troop once they are ready. But we need your help to care for them and many more rescued primates. Donations from kind-hearted supporters are crucial for providing the lifelong care that these rescued macaques need. Just $10 can feed a macaque for an entire month!
If you believe in a future where wildlife is free from exploitation and abuse, please consider making a small monthly contribution. Your support enables us to be there for the next animal in need.
Thank you for joining us in this important mission! Together, we can create a brighter future for animals in Thailand.
