Rescued until now

Last Friday, we finally got the chance to take action for tigress Luli. After being rented out for circus shows and other cruel entertainment for years, her owner loaned the animal to Spain's Parque de Peña Escrita almost ten years ago. However, due to lack of funding, the park had to close down in 2015, after which most of the animals were outplaced to rescue centers and zoos. Luli was unlucky: her owner refused to give her up. In February this year, the park finally arranged ownership of the 15-year-old tiger to make her rescue possible. Then, due to the Covid-19 limitations, we...

The cargo ship Rolldock Sun, which arrived in the Dutch harbor of Vlissingen on Friday August 3rd, was carrying a very special load: one specimen of galago, a small primate mainly native to Tanzania, also known as “bushbaby”. The galago most likely climbed on board without being noticed while the ship stopped in Tanzania two months ago.

January 14th - Sunda Pig-tailed Macaque Llusie

Llusie was very young when she was bought in a local Spanish pet store in Palma de Mallorca. For 16 years she lived in and around the house of her private owner. Someone mentioned it to the Spanish animal organization and Llusie’s situation came to light. She had no other Pig-tailed Macaques to socialize with and she had only become familiar with humans, dogs and cats. Furthermore, her owners did not own the right papers to house a Macaque. After a temporarily stay at AAP Primadomus, Llusie came to Almere. Where she...

Trippel was spotted by a watchful passer-by. He called the Bonte Piet, an animal rescue. They brought the lonesome degu to the Dierenopvang van Schagen, where he lived in a small, two levelled cage. Although he was safe, he had no other degus to play with. Since degus are animals that live in large groups, they need more than one to feel happy. Many people think of degus as a cute little pet, not knowing a lonesome life is a depressing life for a degu.

At AAP Trippel will be placed in quarantine for a short period of time. During his quarantine period he will be introduced to a...
