Baby monkeys: The suffering behind the sweet pictures? (feat. Doc Antle) (2021x24)

Air date: Jun 08, 2021

Social media is full of photos of cute little baby monkeys. Stars and influencers pose with orangutan or chimpanzee babies. But there is incredible suffering behind it: baby monkeys are torn from their parents so that people can cuddle with them. Animal trainers like the American Doc Antle have turned this “love of animals” into a business. Felix and Michel were in the USA, the United Arab Emirates and Thailand - on a global research into the background of the baby monkey business.
