FW: Nepalese monkeys to stay in Nepal and not in US !!!

[Guest guest]

Manoj, that is indeed grand news and the culmination of a lot of hard work

by Nepali and International activists. Many congrats to all those involved,

especially the activists within AnimalNepal.org, Animal Welfare Network

Nepal, and of course Roots and Shoots Nepal. This is a prime(ate) example of

what can be done with patience and perseverance, and with a little help from

our friends abroad. Cheers,

Jigs

AnimalNepal.org

 

Ps, this puts the Nepali Monkeys on Mars program on hold then, as there may

be no need to send them there for safety now. But we will keep the booster

rockets on ice, just in case.
