Apes used in entertainment are treated horribly and often have incredibly shortened lifespans.

They seem well trained but in actually they are beaten until they do what the "trainers" want. The open faced grimace ypu often see chimps and orangs make on tv and movies is actually an expression of fear.

These days though things are getting better because such trainers are better trained naturalists ~

Casey Anderson (born August 20, 1975) is an American wildlife naturalist, television host, animal trainer and actor who is best known as the host and executive producer of the Nat Geo WILD channel television series, Expedition Wild and America the Wild with Casey Anderson, and for being the trainer and "best friend" of Brutus the Bear, a grizzly bear that he adopted as a newborn cub.^[1] Brutus, trained by Anderson, has appeared in many films, documentaries, television commercials, and live educational shows across the United States.

And a sign of much that was previously known were mostly based on the much too little understood of research of days past, we are gradually learning much more through this new generation of naturalists :

Kevin Richardson was born in the Nightingale Clinic on 8 October 1974 in Johannesburg, South Africa. He spent his childhood in the neighbourhood of Orange Grove.^[1] His mother, Patricia, worked for Barclays Bank and was also born in South Africa. Richardson's father, who worked for a pharmaceutical company, was born in the United Kingdom and moved to South Africa from Reading, Berkshire. Kevin Richardson is the youngest of four children: he has an older brother and two sisters who are twins.^[2] His father died when Richardson was thirteen years old. When he was about sixteen, he met Stan Schmidt and began his career as a "self-taught behaviourist."^[1]

Basically animals are no different in many many ways to people ~ treat them well, treat them with respect, commit no harm towards them, see to their needs if they are incapable ... you'll get no better or loyal a friend that you will ever find anywhere in any shape form or color ~

No surprise there ... these creatures has memory , personality and holds grudges just as any other creature associated with some basic form of intelligence as anyone else ... for a long time animals were thought to be mindless bio organic mechanics that is the same, each and everyone and nothing more, people that spends time with the creatures themselves knows that to be simplistic, just ask pet owners and farmers ... they suffer traumas and stress just like anyone else ... usually at the hands of none other than 'people'

Conflicts with the National Park Service

Treadwell's years with the grizzlies were not without disruption. Almost from the start, the National Park Service expressed their worries about his behavior. According to the file kept on Treadwell by the Park Service, rangers reported he had at least six violations from 1994 to 2003. Included among these violations are: guiding tourists without a license, camping in the same area longer than the Parks Service's seven-day limit, improper food storage, wildlife harassment, and conflicts with visitors and their guides. He also frustrated authorities by refusing to install an electric fence around his camp and refusing to carry bear spray to use as a deterrent. In fact, Treadwell had carried pepper spray with him and had resorted to using it at least one time, but wrote that he had felt terrible grief over the pain he perceived he had caused the bear and refused to use it on subsequent occasions.^[8]

In 1998, Park Rangers issued Treadwell a citation for storing an ice chest filled with food in his tent. A separate incident involved rangers ordering him to remove a prohibited portable generator. When the Park Service imposed a new rule—often referred to as the "Treadwell Rule"—requiring all campers to move their camps at least one mile (1.6 km) every seven days, Treadwell initially obeyed the order by using a small motor boat to move his camp up and down the coast. Finding this method impractical, he later hid his camp from the Park Service in stands of trees with heavy brush. He was cited at least once for this violation.^{[citation needed]}

I've read the book he is holding, Alaska Bear Tales, a collection of the humorous and the horrific. Encounters with Black, Kodiak & Grizzlies as well as Polar Bears. Worth a read if you can find it.

[Sundew]

The magic trick made the Orang laugh, but just wait until he looses all his bananas to the ball under the three cups scam!

And this is one of the reasons why, perhaps the most important reason that we have no right to experiment on any of them.

[Paranomali]

What a cutie pie. So very smart!

[GlitterRose]

That's Trump for ya...easily amused.

[+DieChecker]

They should try some other tricks and see if the Orang has the same reactions.

[alibongo]

That's a man in a monkey suit!

[questionmark]

It is things like these that make me think that many animals have been unfairly treated by humans... and mostly because they did not know how to defend themselves adequately.
