Alba’s Silent Cry — Struggling to Breathe After Relentless Attack by Anna
A truly heartbreaking and deeply emotional moment was captured on video this week at GetMonki, where Alba—one of our more vulnerable monkeys—was left breathless after being harshly and repeatedly hit by Anna.
The attack was intense. Anna struck Alba again and again, with such force that Alba fell into a state of visible shock. The moment became even more alarming when Alba appeared to lose her breath—her body stunned, unable to process what had just happened.
For those watching, it was difficult to bear. What could have caused such aggression? Why did Anna not stop?
Monkey behavior, like human behavior, can sometimes be triggered by stress, territorial disputes, or confusion. But what made this moment so painful was Alba’s helplessness. She didn’t fight back. She just took the hits, until her body began to freeze… until she could no longer catch her breath.
Many of our followers have asked: is Alba okay?
The good news is that Alba survived the attack. Our caretakers stepped in as quickly as possible to separate her and begin care. She’s now recovering slowly, with extra attention, safety, and love.
This isn’t just a video—it’s a call for awareness. Aggression happens in the wild, but when we care for and observe these beautiful creatures, it’s our responsibility to recognize signs of trauma and take action.
Anna’s behavior is also being watched. Aggressive patterns need to be understood, not just punished. In many cases, such outbursts are the result of fear, trauma, or deep confusion.
