Stop Masked Monkey Street Show all over Indonesia

This is a particularly cruel practice where juvenile macaques are forced to perform (dance, ride bikes) in every cities or villages in Indonesia.

Each year, thousands of long tailed macaques are bred and captured from the wild for sale in Jakarta where they face a life of exploitation and cruelty.

The macaques can be seen kept on short chains, on the street and often in front of the owner’s house. While growing up to adulthood, the chain often grows into the skin, leading to horrific infections and tetanus. Macaques are highly social creatures and in need of social contact. Macaques also form potential health hazards in urban areas due to the likeliness of disease transfer.
