People Call This Monkey Trade Slavery

In parts of Southeast Asia, monkeys are bought, sold, trained, and put to work. Some call it tradition. Others call it exploitation. In this episode, I visit a real monkey market to see it for myself. What I found wasn’t simple. These are working animals tied to livelihoods, culture, and growing global backlash. Critics say it is forced labor. Locals say outsiders don’t understand it. This video shows: • What a monkey market really looks like • How monkeys are trained and sold • Why this practice is so controversial
