Darwin the Ikea monkey will stay at the Story Book Farm primate sanctuary until a custody trial begins, a Superior Court has ruled.

Yasmin Nakhuda, former owner and self-proclaimed “mother” of the Japanese macaque, sat expressionless as Justice Michael Brown read the decision in an Oshawa courtroom Friday.

The judge ruled Nakhuda did not prove she would be successful in the upcoming trial, which is the necessary test for her to win interim custody.

“You’ve just learned that loving is not enough to win a motion,” Nakhuda told a crush of reporters outside the court, her eyes rimmed with tears.

Compassion

"And if we dare to look into those eyes, then we shall feel their suffering in our hearts.

More and more people have seen that appeal and felt it in their hearts.

All around the world there is an awakening of understanding and compassion, and understanding that reaches out to help the suffering animals in their vanishing homelands.

That embraces hungry, sick, and desperate human beings, people who are starving while the fortunate among us have so much more than we need.

And if, one by one, we help them, the hurting animals, the desperate humans, then together we shall alleviate so much of the hunger, fear, and pain in the world.

Together we can bring change to the world, gradually replacing fear and hatred with compassion and love. Love for all living beings."

- Jane Goodall
