Mega outplacement AAP
On Monday 31st of May no less than 24 barbary macaques moved to new homes in France. It is a record for AAP: never have so many animals been moved to a new home in one go. Rizzly’s group of 17 is the largest, and they went to Zoo de Jurques in Normandy. AAP has a structural waiting list for barbary macaques and these are the animals which are most often rescued. This large outplacement is an important success for AAP.
