I am dedicating this post to the animals I have seen so far in Hong Kong. I figured it appropriate I dedicate at least one post to them since, after all, I hope to work with them for the rest of my life!
These first pictures are of wild monkeys in the Hong Kong mountains. I had the opportunity to go with a few of the veterinarians from Ocean Park on a monthly trip they take to go 'Monkey Catching.' During this 'monkey catching' the lure monkeys into a large cage with food. The day I went there were about 40 monkeys in total. Once they are caught they are given anesthesia in order to get their weight, temperature, give them a vaccine, and if they are a mature female they are spayed. This project was created to control the problem of overpopulation of the monkeys in the area as well as vaccinate them against spreading disease.
