So you don’t like feeding monkeys bananas with lit firecrackers inside?

Thanks for contributing to endangered species, including primates even if you dislike them. Crazy story about your friend – who takes a monkey to a wedding? I feel sorry for it but sounds like he’d be much better off in a sanctuary.

Thanks for your contribution, even if you don’t like them. Agree that’s very cruel and insane that she took it to a wedding.

Since I hate animal cruelty, I contribute $ to protect them as an endangered species, but I LOATHE monkeys. People shouldn’t be allowed to keep them as pets. They’re obnoxious and so are their owners, who haul them along everywhere so their friends can coo over them too. Except we don’t.

(Ex) friend got a Capuchin. It snatched your stuff, jumped in our plates and pooped everywhere. She took it to a WEDDING (Who in their right mind does that??) It ran along the church pews and warbled while she sat beaming at how precious it was and how grateful the couple must be that she was delighting their guests. The pastor did nothing while the bride’s eyes were full of tears and the groom’s face purpled. Father of the groom went over afterward and dis-invited her from their reception. She got butt-hurt and whined it was her “child” and if her “baby” wasn’t welcome it meant we didn’t love her either. By that time nobody did.

She had it for around 5 years before she dumped it at a sanctuary because she was getting married. As much as I hated the freaking thing, thst was cruel. I hope they don’t have kids.

But orangutans are not monkeys you know, right? Big difference in monkeys and apes (orangutans are apes). One sure fire way to tell the difference is apes never have tails. All monkeys have tails, even so called “tail-less ones– they just have really short tails that might be hidden in their hair!

Not hurt the animals but something that doesn’t have a smell but horrrible taste like you can buy for animals in the US ie…bitter apple spray etc…so they “learn” that human food taste bad? If tourist started demanding hidden camera and fines or stop visiting these countries they would start doing more. Ive heard the horror stories in bali kuala lumpur and thailand so we refuse to visit these places. It’s a shame

But I still love monkeys, especially orangutans. I saw them in the zoo for a few times and found them extremely smart and humanlike. May be, I just don’t know them enough.

@Helen – Yikes, that does sound scary. Glad that the cure was a beer – much more fun than a trip to the hospital.

Can’t say I disagree, a friend who I was travelling with once got bitten by one in a temple, we ummmed and arrrhed for hours about whether she should go to hospital, I think we decided to have a beer instead 🙂
