Those monkeys are amazing. Good for them for standing up to the man who enslaved them.

you can't see owning an animal as 'enslavement' as many pet owners treat their animalswith great care and affection, the guy in the first picture however was beating one of the monkeys at which point another (hero) monkey stepped in.

I didn't say that. I didn't say I think that about all "pet" owners. The caption clearly calls him a "cruel trainer" and states that he beat a monkey while forcing it to perform by riding a mini bicycle. That is enslavement. were the monkey's paid for their work? only in beatings!

The trainer deserved it. In America he would have been arrested. People that hurt animals are animals.
