NeverSure Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 That's really sad and no, I don't need to see the graphic image. I don't have experience with monkeys but growing up on a ranch I recall a very interesting and cute relationship between a dog and a chicken. The monkey cared enough to break his chain and go in. condolences to all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post neverdie Posted December 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2014 Sad. They clearly weren't burnt to death....more like smoke inhalation. Poor animals, shouldn't be chained or inside a house. Humans suck. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyumiii Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 If people were aware of what happened, do you think maybe someone was there? If so, why did they not help? Is it like people who see an injured person and take photos with their cell phones instead of assisting the injured?? Just wondering! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrowsdawdle Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 What an amazing story. This is truly an amazing world. Yeah, it sure is.

Guitar God Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Did the monkey leave a note or tell someone of his plans to rescue the goose? Did some monkey whisperer translate the monkey's intentions? It seems like just speculation why the monkey ran in the house, especially since he didn't come out with a goose. On another subject, you can own monkeys as pets? I asked my wife if we could get one to pick coconuts off our tree and she said they were protected and they all belonged to the king or government.

Not true there is a breed of monkeys trained to pick coconuts I believe they are used down near Chumphon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
