Why is it that everyone who see a leash yells "abuse"? A baby monkey is very hard to get away from it's mama, or the troop. A lone baby can be abandoned because food or water is scarce. A lone baby either dies or becomes prey, baby monkeys stand a less then 40% chance of survival in the wild. Look up "disable monkey" and see how little monkeys suffer after an attack. It's a slow painful death. I can't be sure, but, perhaps, this is a lucky monkey. It gets fed, water, and survives.

I don't think it's the uploader's fault. Look at the description- sounds like they're just a bystander.
