Monkeys
A number of monkeys arrived in this country in September 1949 from the Gambia. This had been reported separately. In view of the small expense involved, and the likelihood of being able to obtain primates more economically and in greater numbers from other parts of West Africa in future years, it was decided not to continue with the Gambia project.
An alternative source of West African monkeys is being exploited. In Sierra Leone is an annual drive of monkeys, which are slaughtered by the thousand in the interests of farming.'
