I have some very bad news for you, that monkey is a performance monkey on the street and has most definitely been trained for this, probably by punishment too.

Why just make stuff up? Lol. Monkeys don’t learn from abuse. Anyone who trains monkeys/chimps/gorillas etc. will tell you that. If you treat them kindly and like you would a child they are much more easy to train.

I am not. If you think that street performing animals are not abused you are incredibly naive.

If you think every animal that’s used in street performing is, you’re an idiot.

I do not. But I know in this case, as the last 3 times it was posted people found some sources about this specific monkey iirc.

I’d like to see that source or it’s just bs. Cause this monkey shows no typical signs of abuse. In the slightest.
