Pictures!!
Thought I’d post some of my favorite pictures from the Uganda Wildlife Center. Notes: -the one with the guys holding the limp baboon, that is not a dead baboon, it had just had a physical and was knocked out. -the ones with the animals in the holding cages are either temporarily in the veterinary unit or are only housed in the smaller cages at night where they can be locked in and are safe (mostly so they can’t be stolen) and have huge enclosures during the day. -the vervet monkeys are not enclosed, they are free to come and go, but receive medical attention if illness is noticed. -the chimp with very little hair came in that way (lack of nutrition and use of hair in witchcraft) -the tortoise at the end was left hanging from a tree by a piece of wire in the forest -the parrot came in with an injury to its chest after falling on it and is having surgery in the picture Anyway. Here it goes.
Lol, enough for you? |

I think something like that would be a good experience for you to learn that some of these animals just should not be kept as pets. It was the Uganda Wildlife Education Center in Entebbe. Maybe you should spend your $4000 on that. I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything and I’m really grateful to have gone. I recommend it. |

Quote: ow much was it
The plane ticket was about $1000-$1500 round trip (took a lot of saving up to pay for that!!). It looks amazing on a college app. Volunteering there was free, but if you want to stay in the rooms they have available it’s something like $15 or $20 a night. There are restaurants near by and you can bring food with you (package it well from the ants and vervet monkeys! lol). We came back to our room from being gone ten minutes at the bathroom to find seven monkeys who had opened our door and dug out our mangoes! Lol. Jane Goodall was also there ONE day before we were (we could have been in the meeting with her if we had gotten there earlier!), she works with them and uses their chimp habitat as a model. Anyway, IMO it was a far more rewarding experience to go there and work with them in their native land/habitat and be able to see what they do there and the places these animals come from than it would be to own one of those animals. If you have any more questions about it, let me know!! |

The plane ride depends on your layovers and particular ticket. About 18-20 hours maybe? Not as bad as it seems, though. You always get sweet movies and stuff on longer flights. I stayed for about six weeks, but you can go for as short or long a time as you want. |

Please learn how to spell the animal’s name before claiming to "own" one lol. Besides, I don’t believe I posted any photos of oranguatans? |

I’ll have to post some photos from the vet clinic. No one vaccinates their dogs there so my job was basically to sit with Parvo puppies while they died. It wasn’t exactly uplifting, but hopefully I made their lives a little bit more comfortable giving fluids, pain meds, etc. I did get to bottle feed a bunch of puppies though. Their mom was sick (un vaccinated). Anyway, I’ll have to get those photos. Thanks! |
