VICTORY -- Nepal's government has decided to permanently halt the breeding of monkeys and all the monkeys are to be released from the farms back into the wild!!!
The Nepalese government had previously banned the export of monkeys after international pressure, with over 50 protests in 13 countries and countless emails being sent to the Nepalese decision makers and anyone else who could influence them. Finally, through the tireless work of the local Stop The Monkey Business campaigners, and despite American "diplomacy" which at times verged on the point of blackmail, the Nepalese government has accepted the inevitable and decided to close the farms and release the monkeys.
