A grandmother who built a £250,000 enclosure in Dorset for her capuchin monkeys and lemurs has lost her court fight to keep them there. Dorset Council refused Dawn Groom, 61, a dangerous wild animal licence after hearing of escapes and broken rules at her old Buckinghamshire home, including a photo of a monkey held by its tail. She must now pay £35,000 in court costs.
