Does no one care?

Yes, we care. (However, you did post at 3AM and 6AM in the U.S.; most of us were asleep!)

It's always sad when the animals lose a champion. I hope someone steps up to continue his work.

Fair point - just Monkey World has to be my favouritest place ever and the news really knocked me for six

Oh how sad. I know how much you love Monkey world. RIP Mr. Cronin. I hope they find someone just as wonderful to replace him.

Rest in Peace Jim Cronin

I'm very sorry to hear about this Denise. What age was he? I may have missed it in the article. It's good to know that his wife will continue his work.

Oh dear i am coming up that age, and i can tell you I am not ready to leave this world, so sad, and someone who did so much good in life, just isn't fair is it?

What a shame to lose such a fine young man. It's very sad.

Had a lovely letter from Alison Cronin today to say that Monkey World and the ape and monkey rescue work will be continuing just as Jim would have wanted

That's wonderful, Denise.

His legacy lives on.
