This photograph makes my blood boil; it demonstrates what I most detest about certain humans.
Can you guess what I'd like to do to him?

Oh grrr, I would like to take that whip to him while he cowers with his back against the wall!
ReplyDeleteHorrible, isn't it.
DeleteI agree with you Cro, and find it a difficult image to look at. Animal cruelty is a much debated and apparently complex issue, but we all contribute to it every time we eat meat or purchase a new pair of boots. I have a friend who saves some of these monkeys by forcefully taking them from the trainer and keeping them in a sanctuary. He's a big guy in many ways.
ReplyDeleteTraining any animal to obey instructions, whether it be a dog, a horse, or sadly even a monkey, is far better done with kindness and love. I once had a neighbour who expected his untrained dog to round up his herd of cows. The poor dog just scattered them everywhere, then the farmer would call him back and beat him. I wanted to punch his lights out.
DeleteHow easy for a man his size to be cruel to something so small and defenceless. He wants shooting.
ReplyDeleteSome people appear very big when they have a whip or an AK47 in their hands.
DeleteSuch a sad photo
ReplyDeleteI can't bear to look at it.
ReplyDeleteAwful Cro. Reminds me of many years ago when in Istanbul, I looked out of the hotel window early in the morning to see a man walking across the street leading two brown bears in chains. The scene haunts me still.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a horrible scene.
ReplyDeleteToo sad, I hate any kind of cruelty.

That poor wee soul....what a life.
ReplyDeleteAgree some men are so brave with a weapon in their hands when faced with a defenseless animal.
ReplyDeleteA case could be made for bringing back public flogging. Or the stocks.
The fear in that face is clear to see. The face of the other animal we cannot see.
ReplyDeleteWhat would I do to him? I'd chain to that bicycle and make him carry it round wherever he went for a year or two.
ReplyDelete....and whip him if he didn't do what he was told (in Monkey language), I hope!
DeleteTears stung my eyes looking at that photo. The poor little monkey's face upturned and that bastard walking towards him. I'd like to inflict some permanent painful damage to him.

Exactly my own feelings.
DeleteThat picture just breaks my heart...the poor little guy. :( So much cruelty in this world.
ReplyDeleteI better not say what I'd like to do to that rat bastard.
I'll hold him, you hit him! People like him take the kind out of humankind
ReplyDeleteThat image will haunt me. I despair that people can be so cruel to something so innocent.
ReplyDeleteThis breaks my heart. I'm right there with you, Cro.
