I have just recently discovered your foundation on you tube and it is so refreshing to see monkeys being treated with respect. I have been nauseated by those videos where abusive people dress macaques in nappies, clothes and even shoes. They continuously wash them lathering up soap into their eyes and they cause their monkeys to fight each other and get them screeching and screaming at each other and for milk, and it's all to get money from viewers of videos. It is sickening that many people can't see that this is abuse and plead for information about how can they get a baby monkey "to love and care for" as well. Coming across your foundation was in such contrast to all that and I was struck by how peaceful life is for your monkeys at the foundation. It is a pleasure to watch your videos and to see how gentle and caring all your staff are. Apparently Facebook do not respond to complaints about the abusive videos so I have been doing my best to re-educate people by going on these sites and telling them about the VMF. If I could volunteer I would, but I live in Australia. Thank you for caring so much for these very worthy animals. I was born in Nairobi, Kenya and so appreciate these animals even more. I miss my life in East Africa where I was exposed to the wild life frequently. It was a privilege growing up in such a lovely place but it was the animals that made it so special.

I never tire of watching the babies settling with adoptive mothers. That little soul with the facial bruises broke my heart but at least, you know he will some day soon will find his own new mum 😍😍

These little monkey orphans have experienced so much pain, both mental and physical... How wonderful it is that through the love and care and endless patience of the caretakers at the Foundation, all their wounds could be healed. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of this process in the outside world through these great videos. This is good for our souls.

​@@monikabochmann2792 Nope. They all have their tails, still, unless they were injured.

It is wonderful how the babies love to go to the foster moms when they hear so bad sound. When they dont understand what the sound is, they go to Foster Mommy. That is so sweet and wonderful. They think foster moms are the ones that will take good care of them. They love each other. WONDERFUL.

Welcome little orphan #29. I hope the wounds on his face will heal soon. From now on this orphan is in good hands.

I love watching how well these babies get on in your care. Thank you to all of your team who seem so dedicated to this course. The new mums look very attentive. God bless you all, you are angels xxx

Love the videos

Another superb video, they are really doing so well. It’s great to see the different dynamics play out and the different hierarchy nuances. I would say great to have got a little girl, amongst all the boys but that would imply I was happy to see new monkeys at the VMF which I’m not. At least those who reach the VMF have a second chance at life, and as seen today, they do adjust and form loving bonds with the mothers who take their roles very seriously. Hopefully little Zeb will learn to love the mums too. Have a great week and thank you for all your hard work. As you move into the end of summer early autumn weather you have a huge task ahead of you to get them all acclimated to troop life in their enclosures.

Loved the whole video it is so great to see them all

Lovely new little orphans, thanks guys 🙏❤️

@@VervetMonkey I’d wager they sense such things.❤ Considering how so much of their communication is non-verbal, and how much they protect the babies in their troop while being very alert for danger, it seems (to myself, anyway) that they’d be predisposed to being highly attuned to the body language, facial expressions, etc of other monkeys. Their inherent drive to keep an orderly, safe troop might also have a part. That’s the basic explanation for people who are “all” science, anyway. I think it’s an underestimation of how intelligent, loving, and sympathetic these wonderful beings are. 😉

These Vervets are SO much cuter than their Macaque counterparts…..

I only found this channel cus had vids of monkeys as was raised with em my mom fostered n adopted in US monkeys zoos had place keep from rescue mom fostered sum ended adopting but it back in the 1960s n 70s we had few different kinds

Ahh precious little one..... Needs alot of everything

They can be the most adorable creatures and also the most vile creatures. The same goes for humans

There is so much going on with all the different monkeys this year. I thought & was hoping to see Candi, Ricky-Joe and Bobby this week cause I only got to see them for a moment or two about 2 weeks ago. Well, maybe next week. Thank you to all the people that are helping these angels overcome their trauma and find happiness again! God bless you all!

Between social media and KZread, I don't know where you find the time to share your journeys with us. I saw Connie on this video, but on Instagram, I can see she has left (well, physically) the Foundation. I wonder who the new Baby Mom is? Well, thank you again- and I just love being a member. You all are the best and these moneys are so very fortunate to have another chance at being a real monkey.

Oh please. How many times do stupid uneducated people need to be told that baby monkeys do not make good pets and that they need to be living in the wild with their own kind. These babies here are not toys. They have been orphaned and come here where they receive the most amazing care from dedicated people who are giving them the chance at rehabilitation and a second chance of life. Monkeys are not play things and should not be domesticated just because someone thinks they are cute.
