Kojak - you really can make yourself look like a d*ck sometimes.
So SAW is a Greek organisation is it? Run by Greeks? (BTW, I actually think that SAW is a great organisation.) But to be honest and plain, SAW is run by a bunch of ex-pats, a Brit vet pops over occasionally and it's funded by tourists - is that not interference?
To be concerned about animals globally is a legitimate right of all of us. Are bear bile farms acceptable because they are in China? No they are bloody not! Equally, a Capucine monkey is not, and should not be a pet, regardless o where it is in the world.
The good that Monkey World can do is to rescue it and get it out of the hell hole cage it is living in.
Feel free to crawl back under your rock now.
EDIT TO ADD - As MM suggested upthread, it's great that FAROS is arranging a Greek vet to come to the island soon, perhaps they can look into it.
