Titi Trafficking



Mexico Arrests Man With 18 Titi Monkeys Around His Waist

These poor animals were rolled up in socks and slung on a belt! Two were dead, but luckily the rest are expected to lead a normal life.

I'd like to roll this smuggler up in a sock and sling him off a cliff.

Every day it's a new bizarre sad story from the border.

Ok. This is a weird one. I personally do not care for monkey and they do not like me. However, I sure don't want to see them harmed. Anyone who uses and abuses animals is horrible and should be rolled up in a tube sock and hung.

Trestin: You're right. Mexico and the border areas seem to be in extremis right now and it isn't just human victims as witnessed by this story.

Ananda Girl: I don't like large monkeys or apes, but the little third world monkeys can be rather cute, although not as a pet. NEVER as a pet.

You're right about how they shouldn't be harmed, even the nasty, unappealing ones ;-)

Sadly he probably would have found buyers. Wonder what the next item smuggled from the border will be.

Jan: These are heartless people who don't stop at hurting any life on this planet.

WomanHonorThyself: Really. I hadn't even heard of a titi monkey until today.

Chuck: lol. I'm rooting for the monkeys too.

Ah, yes, animal abuse. Just another element, like driving drunk, of machismo Mexican culture.

Karen Howes: I don't know that it's limited to Mexico, but the machismo culture is bad news wherever it occurs.

I don't like the idea of a larger and more powerful being picking on a lesser one, whether it's an animal or a person. It just doesn't sit well with me.

I hate monkeys. Especially titi monkeys.

Brooke: How can you hate these cute little animals? They're like the guinea pigs of the monkey world.

Those monkeys are really annoying. I hate all monkeys.
