Keep up the good work.God Bless You. UNITED KINGDOM, Copyright 2019 Monkey World. With Jim Cronin gone it's more important than ever that we all help Alison Cronin and colleagues to fight the fight to save apes all over the world.The sight of any animal in trouble is horrifying but seeing baby chimps & orangs being used as pets and props is sickening and heart breaking. Also that year, a female chimp named Cherri (who had previously been in the same group as Rodney) joined the group and formed a close bond with Trudy despite lacking parenting skills to raise her son Seamus (who went on to join the nursery group and later the Bachelor Group). Good Luck to you Alison please find the strength to carry on without him. Currently watching the series on Aniaml Planet and just so awed by the work of everyone. Jim is truely missed by all the lives across the world that he touched, but I'm sure Rodney, Mona and Olympia were wsiting for him with open arms !!
