*MONA FOUNDATION FUNDRAISING EVENT!*
*HELP RESCUE LINDA! COME AND JOIN OUR FUNDRAISING EVENT*

7.00PM*
*There will be an auction, raffle prizes and plenty of good company with
fellow primate lovers! Tickets priced at £20 per person include hot/cold
buffet and complimentary glass of wine/juice. Pay Bar will be available
all evening. Dress code: smart/casual. Accommodation has been discounted
for anyone attending this charity event (see details below)*
We would like to introduce you to Linda, a beautiful chimpanzee estimated
to be about 35 years old, victim of a cruel fate. She was smuggled from
the wild in Cameroon and spent her early years as a touristic amusement on
the beaches of Lanzarote, where she was photographed with the tourists.
However, as many people are unaware, these "cute, furry, funny" animals
mature and can become aggressive and turn against their owners/carers.
Linda reached maturity and her owner realised they could not control her so
she was no more useful or safe to take to the beach to pose with tourists
and was instead imprisoned in a cage in a room at her owner's house.
The good news is that hopefully before the end of Spring 2014 Linda's life
will be completely different when the MONA Foundation rescues her. She will
no longer have a sad and lonely destiny. She may be 35 years old but it
will never be too late for her to learn how she can spend her last years
happy and content in the company of other chimpanzees and form friendships
- something she has never experienced - while being looked after by the
carers at Mona. Linda will be able to experience outdoor life, feel free
to roam in her sanctuary with the other chimpanzees and, more importantly,
she will be able to learn how to behave as a chimpanzee.

Linda needs our help
Please help us rescue and take care of Linda. We need your help to pay for
the veterinary costs, the transfer expenses and her maintenance for at
least the first year, until we find enough sponsors to help cover the costs
of the coming years, as chimpanzees can reach 60 years of age. We also
need to ensure the ongoing care for our other rescued chimpanzees who
reside at the sanctuary.
