Default Bad pun about monkey business ...

The wife has been working on the footage from our recent trip away. As much as I hate sitting through hours of holiday footage, given that I was actually there, some of it is OK.

We did not actually find out why this little one was chained up, but our guide said it was an orphan. I am suspecting it was more likely a captive animal to amuse tourists, so have mixed feelings now that I think about it.

Another day out was spent feeding wild monkeys, again I have misgivings about socialising animals for tourist attractions, but when discussing with the locals, they struggled to see my point of view.

As much as I love Thailand, it seems like everything there including the wildlife is just used to make money from tourists.

When I was there, I spoke to someone who was running the gibbon orphanage/sanctuary in Phuket and I was told that for every gibbon used for taking photos with tourists, 50 animals were killed.
This is because parents were killed to access infants, other parents were involved and captive infants could die quite soon after being captured.
