Why? Tell me why is the monkey poor. When there are more people who live like SHIT and you don´t give a dam. When I go through London and see a whole crew (firefighters...) helping a pigeon stuck in the wires and a few meters away there is a homeless guy who probably needs more help. But screw the homeless guy!!! BECAUSE HE IS HUMAN!!! That is ignorant. So screw everyone and fuck everything. No body is poor NO ONE!!! Not the pigeon the monkey and not the homeless guy...

No one is talking about the scandalous orchids!

[darfunkel]

yes but we can't help but get angry when scientists find something that can help so many humans to have a normal life again and this guy has nothing better to say than "poor monkeys". I'm a biologist and I love animals, but animal research saves human lives and brings happiness to humans.

the girl in the red shirt white skirt has an open hand but in the CGI it looks like two fists.

I like these videos but feel akward about what is being done to the monkeys skull.
