Picture 1: On our way to Ixiamas we stopped for lunch. We heard a baby capuchin monkey making a "help" cry and found this little guy tied up to a tree behind the restaurant. The womyn holding him said that if there was a sanctuary she would give it to them. When we stopped by the next day someone had picked him up and taken him to the markets in La Paz to sell.

Picture 2: This is a very young capuchin monkey tied up on a small cord on his way to the market to be sold.

Picture 1: These two baby capuchin monkeys were being sold for $3.50 each.

Picture 2: Spider monkey behind bars at the La Paz zoo.

Picture 1: This spider monkey's eyes were pleading for me to help her.

Picture 2: While taking an night walk we ran into this womyn with her "baby" spider monkey.

Picture 1: It was quite common to see jaguar skins in restaurants.

Picture 2: We counted about 20 trucks full of trees, like this picture, leaving Ixiamas a day.

Picture 1: This sloth's nails were clipped and he could not even climb trees.

Picture 2: Birds' wings do grow back, so with some rehabilitation birds like this little guy we met in Ixiamas would be able to fly again.
