Sorry, "animal shelter" is a very limited concept in Indonesia. One organization, ProFauna, does host a rehabilitation center for one endangered species of monkey with the aim of releasing them to the wild.

So, to the person that taped this, and finds it so horrible, I have to ask, how many did you buy and release? They can be bought for a couple of bucks, you just have to haggle some.

@junkintrunk55

So you are suggesting that I give money to the poachers, justifying their trade? And where exactly should I release a sick domesticated monkey?

[contreful]

@aripacker how does a poacher capture a domesticated monkey? Think about it.

[aripacker]

@contreful Haha, clever. But the monkey isn't domesticated when captured: it's a baby. The poachers kill the mothers and take the babies, who are raised motherless in cages and become domesticated adults.

Scared, cages, hungry, thirsty - the only thing better would be tortured.

This little video always elevates my spirits. Watching monkeys suffer is such a happy past-time.

What would be done to the bought monkeys?

Can they be returned to an animal shelter once bought?

Poor things

[killbabymonkeys]

They look so skinny and miserable and lonely and so missing their mothers. LOVE IT!

How hard is it to rent a soundproof room in Indonesia? One that cleans up easily and nobody asks questions.

@aripacker Cont' Anyone who has ever raised a baby monkey will tell you it's a 24/7 job. It's too labor intensive. Even the breeders in the USA charge $5500.00 for an 11 to 28 day newborn. Raising baby monkeys in a cage is far from a quick venture. These market people are out to make as much as possible, quickly, which bars babies "raised motherless in cages". A baby monkey takes 10 months to wean. Poachers sell babies, send juveniles and adults to the meat markets. It's all about the cash.
