Re: Jim Cronin (Monkey World) Dies

That's really sad

I've only ever seen him on the show "Monkey Business" and it was clear that both he and Alison were passionate about the animals and their wellbeing. I can't imagine how much of their own money was spent travelling the globe, often just to see or rescue a single animal, but I was pretty sure from the start that they weren't in it for the financial rewards. Another sad loss to animal conservation and welfare.

Hopefully Alison will maintain the centre and keep up the good work.

Hi guys,

Indeed, a great shame. I went to Monkey world on one occassion as my missus is such a huge fan of Monkey Business.

They do indeed do wonderful work.

I think we should all break a matchstick, bad news comes in threes!
