Monkey business
Teenage pop sensation Justin Bieber has been given a month to provide German authorities with the papers they need to release his pet monkey Mally. Customs officials seized Bieber’s capuchin monkey at Munich Airport last week when the 19-year-old failed to present the health and species protection certificates required to bring the pet into the country. Bieber was visiting Munich to give a concert and has since continued on his tour.
“If he doesn't (present the papers), Mally will be taken to a good animal shelter that has experience rearing groups of young capuchin monkeys and can ensure disoriented Mally becomes a healthy little capuchin,” the official spokesperson of the shelter currently caring for the monkey said.” He added that Mally, who is around 14 weeks old, had been taken away from its mother too early and was receiving veterinary care.
