A 28-year-old man took images of monkeys in areas of Denpasar, Bandung, and Bali, which were being sold for $5.

The monkeys in the market are being sold in the tourist spot.

Luke Massey, a tourist, saw the horrible incident in Bali and took pictures of the long-tailed macaques chained to cages, waiting to be sold.

Massey said the monkeys are chained to cages and are in horrible conditions.

He said, “Long-tailed macaques are the most commonly found monkey for sale in Indonesia’s markets.”

He added, “They are cute looking and easily attainable in the wild relatively close to cities. The demand is mixed.”

He continued, “Some people buy the monkeys as babies, thinking they will stay cute forever, only to find them turn aggressive once they hit adulthood. Others buy them to train as dancing monkeys.”

The animals are being sold for $5 to tourists, locals, and other people who visit the famous market.

The monkeys are forced to learn to stand on their feet like humans.

Luke said, “These monkeys are often tortured to learn to stand on their feet like humans, being hung just so their toes touch the ground for hours, beaten and starved so that they ride a bicycle or stilts on demand.”

He added, “Once trained they are paraded at traffic lights and busy areas, where their owners ask for money after each performance.”

Luke said the animals are left in small cages and are chained once they become adults.

Luke said monkeys are being bought by tourists just to release the poor animals to the wild or give them to organizations so they can find permanent homes.

Luke said seeing monkeys in the wild is a fantastic experience, but seeing them in captivity, particularly in markets is a bad thing.

Luke said, “Seeing a monkey in the wild is a fantastic experience. Seeing them in captivity in the markets is a horrible feeling, seeing their sadness in their eyes while feeling completely helpless as they’re chained up is awful.”

He continued, “Also knowing they are group animals and they are often kept on their own.”

Long-tailed macaques, the monkeys that are being sold in the market, usually live for up to 30 years.

Long-tailed macaques are usually found in the forests in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Burma, India and other Asian countries that have warm climates.

Long-tailed macaques have a hard time surviving in the cold.

The small creatures eat insects, stems, leaves, seeds, grass, mushrooms, flowers, bird eggs, clay, bark, and invertebrates.
