But once in a while, a case comes along that has everyone in the ops room silent and weeping. Today was such a day at CROW.

Since the start of the national lockdown, even the Monkey Helpline has been attending to numerous monkey related calls every day. The Monkey Helpline has rescued numerous monkeys which have been shot at using air guns or pellet guns. Most of these monkeys do not survive while others have to be euthanised because of the extent of their wounds.
