TORONTO\u2014Animal Justice has filed a formal misconduct complaint over the failure of Animal Welfare Services (AWS) to act following repeated reports to the agency concerning Boogie, a macaque monkey confined in a small cage at Bervie Zoo in Kincardine, Ontario. AWS is tasked with enforcing provincial animal protection laws.<\/p>\n

Since 2022, Animal Justice investigations have documented Boogie showing severe signs of psychological distress, including pacing, spinning in circles, and biting herself. Despite filing multiple complaints with corroborating\u00a0video evidence<\/a>\u00a0of continued distress, most recently in September, AWS has not acted to rescue Boogie from the roadside zoo.<\/p>\n

As a result, Animal Justice has filed a complaint under the Provincial Animal Welfare Services Act (PAWS Act) and is demanding AWS inspectors take immediate action to remove Boogie from these conditions and transfer her to a sanctuary where she can receive proper care.\u00a0<\/p>\n

AWS previously\u00a0seized<\/a>\u00a0and removed a number of animals from Bervie Zoo in 2022 after they were found living in a barn that reeked of urine and feces. This includes a baboon named Bruno, who was given a new lease on life at\u00a0Story Book Farm<\/a>\u00a0Primate Sanctuary.\u00a0The renowned Ontario rescue has also offered to take Boogie in.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoogie has suffered for far too long in isolation at Bervie Zoo,\u201d said Camille Labchuk, lawyer and executive director at Animal Justice. \u201cAnimal Welfare Services has repeatedly failed to fulfill its duty to protect her, despite clear evidence that she is engaging in troubling repetitive and self-harm behaviours. It\u2019s time to give Boogie the care she urgently needs and deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis misconduct complaint highlights not just the failure to enforce animal protection laws in Boogie\u2019s case, but also the dismal legal regime in Ontario\u2014 a province where roadside zoos run rampant because zoos aren\u2019t required to be licensed.\u201d<\/p>\n
