Read our December Highlights!
Welcome to?your latest WFFT update
Happy New Year! We're excited to share our December 2024 highlights with you¡ªbut first, an important message...
In 2025, we¡¯re embarking on what is likely our most ambitious animal welfare campaign yet: ending the cruel trade and abuse of coconut monkeys in Thailand. An estimated 3,000 Southern and Northern pig-tailed macaques are trapped in this exploitative industry¡ªstolen from their mothers and the wild as infants, subjected to brutal training, and forced to harvest coconuts under harsh conditions.
Our plan includes building new enclosures where rescued coconut monkeys can heal and retire from their traumatic pasts. To achieve this, we need to secure land, construct specialised facilities, and provide lifelong care for these animals. It¡¯s a monumental task, but with your support, we can make it happen and offer many more macaques the peace they deserve.
Together, let¡¯s make 2025 a turning point for coconut monkeys in Thailand.
Highlights?in December 2024:
December 2024 was another busy month at WFFT, filled with new arrivals, crucial health checks, and Christmas-themed enrichments for our rescued animals. Your support makes it all possible, and we¡¯re deeply grateful for animal lovers like you.?Discover more about our recent activities below!
Dodo, our 24-year-old Malayan Sun Bear, recently had a health check to manage his arthritis and ensure he's comfortable with his joint pain medication. The veterinary team also cleaned his teeth and trimmed his nails.
This monkey, who was electrocuted and chased by dogs, also sustained minor injuries to his eyebrow and right leg. After a successful recovery with medication and monitoring, he has been released back to the wild!?
We rescued 26 ricefield rats from filthy cesspits where they were farmed for human consumption. Many were suffering from severe wounds. Their plight highlights the cruelty faced by wildlife exploited for meat.?
Rescue of wild stump-tailed macaque
Sakakibara is a wild stump-tailed macaque who came to us in need of urgent care after being attacked by other macaques in his troop. Sakakibara arrived with multiple infected puncture wounds and slight hyperthermia. Once healed, we plan to release him back into the wild where he belongs.?
Many of our rescued animals received new toys this festive season, helping to further enrich their lives. We are forever grateful to our friend Jeanette and supporters like you for making this possible and for bringing extra joy to animals who have endured so much sadness in the past.
More than 6,000 sterilisations completed since 2023! Our People and Animals Thailand (PAT) team is actively addressing the problem of stray animal overpopulation in Thailand.?
Together, we can rescue more and create a better future for animals in Thailand.?
Thank you for your support.?
