The animal welfare organization Moving Animals has urgently requested that the shelter be closed after Investigation at the Samui Monkey Center in Thailand – a popular tourist destination.

Shocking images show their findings: from monkeys chained by the neck and suffering in tiny cages, to other enclosures filled with garbage and concrete blocks.

In one particularly tragic case, a deer was found living alone in a small, muddy enclosure with no comfortable place to lie down.

Another depressing discovery was animals chewing on wood, showing possible “signs of hunger.”

Also on display are crocodiles crowded into a small space next to a dirty pond and birds sitting in shabby, makeshift aviaries.

In another sad picture, a lonely-looking bear sits slumped on a concrete block.

Located on the popular island of Koh Samui, the zoo has been described as a “hellhole” for its residents, reports NeedToKnow.

A spokesman for Moving Animals said: “All of the monkeys displayed neurotic behaviour, including frantically pacing.

“Several monkeys were observed eating twigs, which may have been a sign of hunger.

“The cages are filled with trash such as plastic bottles and chip bags and some are littered with large discarded concrete blocks and bricks.

Another “worrying” pattern is that most of the animals kept in the zoo Babies and there are no adults of the same species.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the young animals were bred in the zoo; they must have come from further away.

The report continues: “A lone deer was kept alone in a small enclosure whose surface was entirely made of thick mud, leaving the lonely animal with no suitable place to rest.

“A binturong, a legally protected animal and an endangered species also known as the bear cat, appeared extremely lethargic and possibly close to death.”

Investigators fear that some of the monkeys at the center could transmit infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, as indicated by their excessive coughing.

Despite the clear signs of the disease, visitors were still encouraged to make physical contact with them.

As a result of the InvestigationThe Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT) has publicly offered to give all the animals in its 90-hectare sanctuary a new home.

Edwin Wiek, founder of the WFFT, commented on the report, saying the WFFT had received “several disturbing reports” about the Samui Monkey Center in Thailand.

He described the sad fate of a baby monkey as “heartbreaking” because it would have to spend the rest of its life in “hectic circles” under terrible conditions.

He said: “We are deeply concerned about the horrific cruelty to animals that has been documented, as well as the risk to public health posed by the state of health of the animals at the zoo.”

“Reviewing the investigative material was devastating.

“It is heartbreaking to know that the baby monkey, who is only a few months old, will spend the rest of his life in a barren cage, running frantically in circles, as far removed from nature as one can imagine.

“That’s why we are urgently trying to find a new home for him and the dozens of other animals trapped in this hellhole.

He continued: “For years, the zoo has posted irrelevant documents at its entrance to make people believe that they are legally allowed to keep animals and that the conditions at the zoo comply with Thai animal welfare laws.

“We are ready to help and are making a public offer to help all animals in the zoo that need to be rescued.”
