[ESP/ ENG] The sad reality of having a monkey as a pet.

in Hive Pets4 years ago

Since I was a girl, my thinking was different from the rest, I always knew that I was not like other children. My feelings towards animals led me to protect them from anyone, even family members. I did not care that they would be angry with me, if it meant saving the cats that inhabited the surroundings.

Desde niña mi pensamiento era diferente al resto, siempre supe que no era como los otros niños. Mis sentimientos hacia los animales me llevo a protegerlos de cualquier persona, incluso de familiares. No me importaba que se enfadarán conmigo, si eso significaba salvar a los gatos que habitaban los alrededores.

Now being an adult woman I have the same thought, of course it encompasses other animal species. Not just cats and dogs. I saw a post on Hive Pet that gave me a lot of sadness and helplessness 😞 There is a horrible story behind when you decide to have a monkey as a pet. They are animals that live freely in their natural habitat and when someone wants to get one as a pet, they start the illegal trafficking of these animals. Babies are ripped from their mother's arms and sold as pets within days of birth. Do you think this is fair? Do you think it's okay? There are many people who fight every day to eradicate this injustice, while other selfish people boast of having a pet monkey 😠

Ahora siendo una mujer adulta tengo el mismo pensamiento, claro que abarca a otras especies animales. No solo a gatos y a perros.
Ví una publicación en Hive Pet que me dió mucha tristeza e impotencia 😞
Hay una historia horrible detrás cuando decides tener a un mono como mascota. Ellos son animales que viven en libertad en su hábitat natural y cuando alguien quiere obtener uno como mascota, da pie a que comience el tráfico ilegal de estos animales.
Los bebés son arrancados de los brazos de su mamá y vendidos como mascota a los pocos días de nacer. ¿Creen que esto es justo? ¿Creen que está bien?
Hay muchas personas que luchan día a día para erradicar está injusticia, mientras otras personas egoístas se jactan de tener un mono por mascota 😠

Wild animals are not for the amusement of any human being and that should be a law. There was a famous case here in Chile. Nicolás, a capuchin monkey was a pet of some merchants, they plucked his fangs and forced him to smoke and drink alcohol, he became an addict. He suffered a withdrawal attack. His owners gave him alcohol, because they simply liked the reaction he had to drinking. Just imagine being taken out of your home to make a group of people laugh ... Then these animals become aggressive and have every right to be aggressive, since they need contact with their own species. They are social beings and cannot be in a house or cage locked up without their natural environment. This leads to someone attacking which is normal behavior in a stressed being.

Los animales silvestres no están para la diversión de ningún ser humano y eso debería ser una ley.
Hubo un caso aquí en Chile famoso. Nicolás, un mono capuchino era una mascota de unos comerciantes, arrancaron sus colmillos y lo obligaban a fumar y beber alcohol, se convirtió en un adicto. Sufrió un ataque de abstinencia.
Sus dueños le daban alcohol, porque simplemente les gustaba la reacción que tenía al tomar. Sólo imagínense ser sacado de tú hogar para lograr que un grupo de gente se ría...
Luego estos animales se ponen agresivos y tienen todo el derecho a serlo, ya que ellos necesitan contacto con su misma especie. Son seres sociales no pueden estar en una casa o jaula encerrados sin su entorno natural. Ésto lleva a qué ataquen a alguien lo que es un comportamiento normal en un ser estresado.

We as rational beings must understand that this should not be endorsed by our society, nor should we close our eyes to these infamous acts. Today April 4 Martin Luther King is on his mourning Anniversary, he said this very true phrase: "Never, never be afraid to do the right thing, especially if the welfare of a person or animal is at stake. The punishments of society are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way." I can't look the other way, I don't like those contents and I will never like them. Maybe what I write will be rejected by Hive Pet, but it is what I think and feel 😞

Nosotros como seres racionales debemos de entender que esto no debe ser avalado por nuestra sociedad, tampoco cerrar los ojos ante estos echos infames.
Hoy 4 de abril Martin Luther King está de Aniversario luctuoso, el dijo esta frase muy cierta:
"Nunca, nunca tengas miedo de hacer lo correcto, especialmente si el bienestar de una persona o animal está en juego. Los castigos de la sociedad son pequeños en comparación con las heridas que infligimos a nuestra alma cuando miramos para otro lado.”

Yo no puedo mirar para otro lado, no me gusta esos contenidos y jamás me gustarán. Quizás lo que escriba sea rechazado por Hive Pet, pero es lo que pienso y siento 😞
