Russ gets the point. I know its for my own good, but that doesn t make it any easier.... Thats what Russ the vervet monkey seems to be thinking as he keeps a wary eye on that hypodermic. Ruse, who lives at Chester Zoo, suffers from parental aggression - which means his parents pushed him around. So he was rescued and reared by hand. The only snag is that occasionally Russ needs vitamins to keep him fit - which explains why hes getting the needle again. October 1966 P00717

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Russ gets the point" we witness a moment of both apprehension and resilience. Meet Russ, the charismatic vervet monkey residing at Chester Zoo. As he gazes warily at the hypodermic needle, one can almost hear his thoughts echoing through his expressive eyes. Having endured parental aggression in his early life, Russ was rescued and hand-reared by compassionate caretakers. However, despite their best efforts to provide him with a safe haven, occasional vitamin injections are necessary to ensure his well-being. And so it is that Russ finds himself facing yet another round of medical intervention. The image captures a bittersweet truth - sometimes what is good for us doesn't come easily or without discomfort. Yet, even in the face of uncertainty and unease, Russ displays remarkable bravery as he confronts this necessary procedure head-on. This photograph from October 1966 evokes a sense of empathy towards our animal counterparts while also highlighting their unique personalities and ability to adapt to challenging circumstances. It serves as a reminder that compassion knows no bounds when it comes to caring for those who cannot always care for themselves. With its blend of cuteness, humor, and genuine human-animal connection captured during the swinging sixties era, this print transports us back in time while reminding us of our shared responsibility towards all living creatures on this planet – an enduring message that remains relevant today.
