A WELSH farmer and his wife have established a  reputation as an 
"international rescue" service for animals in  trouble. 
Airlines lay on special flights for Jan and Graham  Garen's worldwide 
missions to rescue monkeys and other animals from zoos  hit by money or political 
problems around the globe. 
TV presenter and animal lover Graham Norton is a patron  of the pair's 
worldwide rescue service. 
And companies such as Emirates Airlines, BMIbaby,  British Gas, Tesco, 
Safeway, Somerfield and Brooke Bond PG Tips (famous  for its chimp TV adverts) are 
sponsors. 
The couple, who run the Cefn yr Erw Primate Sanctuary  at their former hill 
farm in Caehopkin, near Abercraf in the Swansea  Valley, also rescue animals 
kept in inappropriate circumstances. 
In March Emirates Airlines laid on a special flight so  Willie the Baboon 
could have a new life with Jan and Graham in Wales. 
He had been used by a market trader in Bahrain as  "entertainment" but when 
he grew too large and started scaring off  customers he was in danger of being 
put down. 
Worldwide courier specialists DHL also arranged for a  monkey to flow by BA 
to Cefn yr Erw from Qatar after a zoo closed down  there.

I am the voice of the  voiceless;
Through me the dumb shall speak,
Till the deaf world's ears be  made to hear
The wrongs of the wordless weak.
