*PLEASE FOLLOW/CLICK THIS LINK TO SIGN THE PETITION*
Petition Target: Embassy of Indonesia, Indonesian Ministry of Environment Sponsored by: Animal Advocates Masked street monkeys in Jakarta, Indonesia are forced to wear bizarre costumes and give street performances as their owners collect money from spectators. The emaciated long-tailed macaque monkeys are made to wear doll masks, wigs, and clothes and perform human tasks such as riding bikes, rocking horses and scooters. Many are brutally trained to walk upright by being hung upside down, or having their hands tied behind their backs. In the first two weeks of being trained to perform cruel circus activities, countless monkeys suffer incredibly and die. Animal activists in Jakarta have said the practice is cruel, and illegal. We ask the Indonesian government to stop this exploitation.
This Monkey is nursing its young child and made to have a hideous mask on her head and beg for money.
These
innocent sentient beings are taught through violence & fear; nothing but
cruelty.
The training is against the law and less than half of the
monkey’s that undergo the training process survive to entertain. The monkey
trainers simply say that life is hard in Jakarta.
