PETA isn't a particularly good organisation IMO, but the USA's refusal to do things like make it illegal to own exotic pets means that it's a necessary one at the moment.
Just keeping them as pets is abuse even if you do everything in your power to give them a good life. Humans CAN'T meet their needs. These pet monkey channels on TH-cam drive me insane. The ones overseas abuse them intentionally for the monkey hate community, and the ones in America abuse them unintentionally (I assume unintentionally) by making them wear clothes and diapers, not giving them enough room to roam, etc. And of course it all starts with the breeder who breeds the mothers repeatedly and tears the baby out of her arms every time she gives birth, causing both of them to grieve deeply. So the babies start out their lives in trauma. Clothes on a monkey or chimp is a big red flag showing the owner either doesn't know or doesn't care about the damage clothes can cause these animals.
Can't like your comment enough, you are so right. NO pet monkey is ever living its best life outside of the wild with their own kind. It's sad to see so many people in America think pet monkeys are 'cute' and 'loved' by their owners. When in fact any pet monkey is damaged the moment they are taken from their mothers to become pets for selfish people to exploit for views and money.
When I saw *Tonka* in that cage it reminded me of an old 1959 Twilight Zone show. These astronauts land on Mars (one died) and the people on Mars found the survivor. They were similar to us and could read minds. They built a room for the astronaut just like one on Earth. But there was a constant noise outside and the astronaut found a sliding door. When he opened it, on the other side were the aliens pointing and laughing with a sign that read "EARTH CREATURE IN HIS NATIVE HABITAT" (that's what we do)
Hi! This is different from my other videos but I hope you enjoy! I want to make more TV show reviews so please leave me some more lighthearted shows to watch
The saddest part is that many people who think chimpanzees should never be pets, have no issues with smaller monkeys becoming pets. They see all these American youtubers exploiting their pet monkeys for profit and think they are 'loved' and are so 'cute' and 'adorable.' They refuse to acknowledge the damage done to these monkeys the moment they are taken from their mothers to become pets for selfish owners.
So sad for those poor primates being forced to live like human children wearing clothes, and they have to wear diapers because they're not potty trainable. They need to be with their own kind under proper living conditions if they can't be released into the natural world.
The Travis issue was totally Sandras fault. Her husband told her before he died to bring Travis to a sanctuary which obviously she didn't. She did all those things you said, bathed with him, dressed him in her husbands clothes. Travis drank wine and even ate lobster and she also gave him Xanax . She lied about that too in an interview. She went out with Sharla to gamble a few days before the attack and I guess, left Travis alone. He got jealous and this was Sandras fault. Sandra didn't think at all about chimp behavior she went out with Sharla left Travis came back and Travis wanted to go for a car ride as he grabbed the keys and when Sharla showed up he found her as a threat even if she worked with him before. Travis lost a group member, Sandras husband and Sandra takes off with Sharla leaves Travis . I mean this whole thing could have been avoided if Sandra listened to her husband in the first place. Glad she wasn't able to get that other chimp
I absolutely hate this and despise people who try to have wild animals as pets. Please let them live a normal life. I won’t even support circuses anymore. Please!
22:51 okayyyyyy I’m gonna stop you right there about rabbits “not liking to cuddle” or “not showing affection”. I’ve rescued rabbits for over ten years, they are ABSOLUTELY capable of showing love and affection towards their human friends. My girlie I have now, TurboLover (she’s the fourth rabbit I took in) , i rescued her from an animal research lab where she was obviously not treated like a companion as they were doing these cruel experiments and tests on her and if I didn’t get wind of it she would have been executed. I knew I had to adopt her and show her that a great life is possible. It was difficult at first due to her former life but with lots of patience and cuddle time she is now the sweetest most gentle little bean on earth. I carry her around like a baby and we go on walks, i hold her and we take turns giving kisses and play all day long! She’s my best friend and my everything and I cannot imagine life without the love of a spoiled bun. The narrative that rabbits just HATE being pets and aren’t good companions is super hurtful as they wanna love and hang out with their human as much as the best doggo out there. I hate that they’re only seen as skiddish and panicking little jerks. People would rather justify the worlds shittiest cat than try and see rabbits as our friends. I hate that this negative reputation surrounds pet rabbits when more often than not people don’t even see them as pets but more as accessories. yeah force isolation on this animal in a cage all day and Be shocked when they don’t wanna hang out with you.
I think it depends on the individual rabbit's personality and sometimes the breed. I had a lot of rabbits of different breeds. All of them liked being petted and being around me and even playing with me but some didn't care for being carried and cuddled. My Angoras, Mini Lops, and Dwarfs liked being carried and being in my lap and cuddled. My Siamese Satins, New Zealand Red, and Flemish Giant (weighed 21 pounds) didn't like being carried around and cuddled though they did enjoy hanging out with me and being petted while on the floor or on the ground if in their outside enclosure. Rabbits make great pets for the right person. Like with any pet, they're not for everyone.
Exotic animals are not pets. Period. How much thought does it require? None. It is difficult and very expensive to care for wild animals. It requires specialized personnel and extensive facilities, and with all that, it is still detrimental to the animals. We abuse domesticated animals. We abuse wild animals. We abuse each other. Why is this a question at all? The exotic pet trade should be illegal in all forms in all countries. Refuges, sanctuaries, conservation reserves, etc. These places are needed only because of human interference with wild animals, and I have no criticism of them at all.
Not all exotic animals are wild animals. When I first got my llamas in the '90's, they were federally (USDA) listed as exotic animals even though they had been domesticated for over 5,000 years. Because of that, most states also considered them exotic animals. A lot of us llama and alpaca owners worked to get that changed and they are now listed as domestic livestock, both federally and in every state. There are no wild llamas and alpacas. A few other domestic animals that are or were considered exotic animals in the USA are Bactrian and Dromedary camels, domestic water buffalo, domestic yaks, and domestic reindeer. Sanctuaries are a good thing. Just wish they were only used for orphaned or injured native animals that can be rehabbed back into the wild or injured ones that can't be released back into the wild and not for the poor animals that are there because of someone's stupidity. I agree that wild animals shouldn't be kept as pets but I also believe there are a few exceptions.
Watched another video with a primatologist and he said the same as you. There are plenty of domesticated animals that need to be adopted already.🤔I’m curious wouldn’t this type of “disease” be some form of dependency and be treated as such?
Sorry so long winded and I don’t mean to offend you or insinuate you at all because I know you loved your lil girl and all pets are different!! I just wanted to clear the air about the “rabbits not liking cuddlez” thing and share my experience! Cheers to a fantastic review btw 🎉
I have a Belgian Malinois with a bite record, you're asking for trouble if you keep a chimp, these strong primates have an enormous prey drive and that's why their injuries when they redirect on their humans are so horrendous.
@cherylmillard2067 They are great, powerful dogs. I imagine living with a grown male chimp would be like living with a 7'0" schizophrenic bodybuilder who occasionally goes off his meds during meth benders
@@sharonrigs7999 The thing about "pet" monkeys and apes that hardly ever gets mentioned is that they still have an instinct to be dominant. In the wild, a lower ranked primate has to give up its food to a higher ranked one. When captive ones get hand fed by their owners, it tells them that their owner is lower ranked because they're giving up their food to the animal. So if the owner upsets them, or prevents them from doing something they want, they're going to put them in their place just like a monkey in the wild would do to a lower ranking one.

I just don’t understand why the US have done *nothing* about making the import of exotic species (and non native species to be honest) illegal.
@@hoptoit5910 Because permits for these animals make the local government a little money.

I don’t know why people are so fascinated with chimpanzees? They’re super dangerous animals.

If u read more into the Travis attack.... they were giving him Xanax. He ended up stealing their car and went on a police chase. It was really sad
I never heard read or watched Travis stole a car and drove it. When did that supposedly happen timeline wise to attack on Charla?
He never stole a car or went on any police chase. He only stole car keys.
