You can't quite see the chain, but it was a sad sight! So, a friend of Desiree's named Roxanned adopted this little monkey (Kemi means 'take care of me' in Yourba). And has been nursing it back to health. Here is Kemi grooming Roxanne's hair:

I am an expat who has lived in Nigeria for 12 years close to Calabar and an international monkey rescue effort. The experts there caution against 'rescue' of these poor creatures. In fact, a 'rescue' almost ALWAYS involves money and actually contributes to the capture of others by these rascals who imprison the poor monkeys.
Thank-you for your comment. We are aware of the problems surrounding adoption of wild monkeys in markets. We have been urging our friend to free Kemi now that she has grown. I will forward the CEROPAN site to our friend.http://www.cercopan.org/about%20cercopan.htm
