Jodie Marsh Gains Marmoset License, Defies Critics

0:00On April 22nd, Jody Marsh, the former glamour model, turned animal rescuer, just scored a primate license for 12 marmosets at her Fritz farm. Sanctuary in Essex, this comes a year after she won a tough court fight against the local council to keep lemurs there. The Uddo's Ford District Council green-lit it right before new primate welfare rules kick in under the animal welfare regulations for England and 20. 24. Marsh runs the place with over 400 animals, funding it all through her only fans page. She's thrilled, calling herself completely over the moon and says her setup meets standards tougher than zoos. With the changes, lots of marmoset owners might lose their licenses, leaving thousands homeless, so spots like hers are vital for rescues. No lemurs are at the farm right now. She'd need a variation to bring them back, and the license runs from April 6th, 2026 to April 5th, 2029. Meanwhile, she's spiting assault charges from a neighbor spat over the sanctuary, pleading not guilty with a court date next May. This win

1:03keeps her dream alive, helping primates in a shifting legal landscape while she pushes back against critics and keeps the farm thriving.
