Monkey business in Pakistan Bashny.Net

Each circus has its own state animal. What it is, the program richer, and the more profit can bring the performance. Meanwhile, there are a few types of business where our smaller brethren play a major role. One of them is "monkey". This business thrives mainly in Pakistan, where many people live below the poverty line and performances with trained monkeys – the only way to survive.






Monkeys, as a rule, are caught very young in the jungle, and then begins the process of learning. As recognized 46-year-old Ataullah Niazi, one monkey can bring from 190 to 285 dollars of income per month. In particular, his family owns three trained monkeys, whose performances help to feed eight children. And he Ataullah Niazi was engaged in "monkey business" when he was only 11, and the training of their first monkey, he spent three months. In the end, the monkey learned to dance, do backflips, shake the spectators hand and making comic faces.











Most people catch small monkeys in the North-East Swat Valley, but every year the number of trained animals is dramatically reduced, as the conservationists strongly oppose this kind of business. And it's not even in that place the monkeys in the jungle. Just some trainers abuse their power and beat players sticks.











But mostly the people of Pakistan believe trained monkeys their children and often spoil them with sweets in gratitude for successful performance. Although, I must admit that the snow monkeys in Jigokudani Monkey Park look more serene and happy than their trained counterparts, dressed in human clothes.
