(youtube) We cared for this Spider Monkey under the supervision of a vet with 20 years experience. The monkey's food was carefully monitored and weighed each day. It is vital to the monkeys survival that he gain a specific amount of weight each day. If this meant forcing him to eat when he appeared not to be hungry then so be it, sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. This monkey will be released into the wild in 5 years time. Like many others before which were cared for like this.
