Ive been here at KSTR for a month now, and I’ve loved every day. The workers here have become like a second family. The days are getting longer as I am given more and more responsibilities, but I do what I can to help. We recently released one of the owls I was in charge of so that was awesome. We also released a titi monkey who had been electrocuted, which was a personal win for all of us since the other monkey he came in with didn’t make it. We released numerous song birds and we’ve taken on a few more animals. The electrocuted howler monkey we received nearly two weeks ago is doing much, much better. She’s a miracle case. She had 3rd degree burns covering about 35% of her body, and was the worst the workers had seen. But now she’s doing so great and nearly all of her burns have healed up and she’s eating solid food. It’s been a crazy experience here, we do everything we can to keep these animals alive.
