These monkeys were brought to Noida by their catchers to take them to each sector and to keep them at busy marketplaces to draw crowds during the festive season. "
We got information about them and we raided Atta market and rescued these monkeys but the culprits fled the scene. We have sent the monkeys to a hospital as their teeth were broken," said Vineet Arora, animal welfare officer, SPCA, Noida.
According to animal rights activists these simians are treated with unimaginable cruelty before they are trained and brought to the public. "Madaris usually kill the mothers and take away with babies. As they grow older they become furious so the catchers break their canine teeth with screwdrivers and later beat them and keep them without food. Once they are trained they are brought to the city. They are mostly caught from jungles and suburban areas," Arora added.
The monkeys were sent to the animal hospital at Noida Sector 94, but the catchers managed to flee.
