Two Barbary macaques seized in Melilla

Melilla, Spain, 23 December. The Civil Guard has rescued 2 Barbary macaques which were abandoned in Melilla. The 2 animals were most likely smuggled from Morocco into the Spanish enclave on Moroccan territory. The two animals were abandoned and kept in poor circumstances. One of the two monkeys was found on the street tied to a traffic light, while the other was found in a hostel, abandoned by the owner. As it is illegal to keep Barbary macaques under Spanish law, the ex owners most likely were afraid to be caught by the authorities. Reaching the Spanish mainland from Morocco requires a passage through 2 custom points so this is probably why the macaques were abandoned.
