Monkey & Python Abandoned During ‘Circuit Breaker’, ACRES Appeals For Information

Monkey Abandoned On Geylang Tree Was Euthanised On Humane Grounds

Keeping animals like monkeys and snakes as pets in Singapore is illegal, yet during the ‘Circuit Breaker‘, these exact animals were found abandoned on separate occasions.

The Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Singapore) ACRES took to Facebook on Tuesday (9 Jun), appealing for information on a monkey and a python which they had found during the ‘Circuit Breaker’.

Folks at ACRES are currently taking care of the python.

ACRES appealing for information

ACRES is appealing for information on the 2 cases of abandonment including the identity of the individuals who kept them as pets.

Anyone with such information can reach out to ACRES at acrescrime@gmail.com.

According to The Straits Times, reptiles, primates and amphibians are “unsuitable” as they may potentially affect the ecosystem and biodiversity in our country if let out into the wild.

Hope the authorities get to the bottom of this soon

If you happen to have any information on the above cases, do reach out to ACRES via the email above.

We hope the authorities will get to the bottom of these cases soon and identify the individuals responsible for these acts.
