Dear Friends  of Jungle Friends, 
     

Angelle,  David and Kari pause for a photo after filming the Primetime 
segment at  Jungle Friends.   

_Andy_ (http://www.junglefriends.org/monk_andy.shtml) , Jungle  Friends 
latest arrival, was purchased as a surrogate child by motorcycle  racer 
Angelle 
Sampey.

We are  thrilled about the segment airing Tuesday on Primetime! The segment 
will discuss  the phenomenon of monkeys as ‘surrogate children’ and how its 
popularity is a  growing problem. The story should also get a mention on Good 
Morning America and  World News Tonight. 
At Jungle  Friends we have quite a few monkeys who were purchased as ‘
surrogate children’,  including our most recent arrival, _Andy_ 
(http://www.junglefriends.org/monk_andy.shtml) , a 7-year-old brown  
capuchin. 
Angelle  Sampey, a famous motorcycle racer, purchased Andy when he was just a 
few weeks  old. Angelle tells her story on her website. You can read about 
her life with  Andy and how she ultimately had to give him up at this link _“
Saying goodbye to  Andy.”_

Primetime’s  David Muir interviewed me and Angelle here at Jungle Friends. I 
think David was  truly shocked when he learned of the atrocities people 
commit 
when attempting to  make a monkey into a ‘child’ – pulling them as babies 
from their natural mothers  arms when they are just a few days old, 
extracting 
all of their teeth,  amputating fingers, tail docking, shock collars, well, 
on 
and  on. 
Please send  this post to everyone you know and post on your website or blog. 
After watching  Primetime, please contact ABC to let them know how the 
segment made you feel and  thank them for bringing this shameful practice to 
light.

"Each one of us matters, has a role to play and makes  a difference. Each one 
of us must take responsibility for our own lives, and  above all, show 
respect and love for all living things around us, especially  each other. 
Together 
we must reestablish our connections with the natural world  and with the 
Spiritual Power that is around us. And then we can move,  triumphantly, 
joyously, 
into the final stage of human evolution--spiritual  evolution.”  --Dr. Jane
