I feel like this is a missed "banana for scale" opportunity.

I wouldn't have the heart to separate them after this...
HikariShade
They really shouldn't be. Their social bonds are critically important. Sadly humans who buy them for pets dont care about that.
TemporaryUzername
why are you assuming that they were purchased as pets?
margaretolson
I really don't understand why people want animals like these as pets. It feels weird and cruel to me
ChicagoBill54
Can you explain more? Like with dogs, I think you wait 6-8 weeks so they learn to socialize with other puppies in the litter, is it 1/2
illuminerdy
That genuinely hurt my heart and soul.
illuminerdy
Oh apparently they were rescued and were separated during treatment but it's still sad that they missed eachother.
ChicagoBill54
The same with chimps where there is a period where they develop social skills or were they just not meant to be domesticated/pets. 2/2
HikariShade
Chimps are in no way dogs. Chimps form deep family bonds very young. It would be like ripping away a human infant from their >>

belortik
Imagine keeping a toddler as a pet. It's like that but we just can't communicate with them well.
AnnieBahde
But why were they separated from each other and their mother in the first place? Are they in a conservation place or are they "pets"?
Level13
Rescued from captivity, these two brothers were separated for treatment in two different Ngos. After recovering, they were reunited.
Mockingbirb
Thank you! That's good.
AnnieBahde
That makes me feel a lot better. Now it can just be cute and heartwarming! Still sad they were ever pets though.
theitinerantnaturalist
Who said they were pets? They were in captivity: we don't know exactly whete
AnnieBahde
I mean I assume captivity meant pet trade. What else would they be in captivity as? Meat?
IProvideFakeContext
I wonder if there are places specifically dedicated to keeping animals in captivity and are known for treating and taking good care of said

Man, I gotta say this info *really* could have been included in the OP. There's a source, and that's great, but it would've been nice.

I see the Post Police have a good response time today.
GRMurph
More gold if you dole the information out slowly.
FromDenmarkWithHate
Pets it seems like.
theitinerantnaturalist
No they are not pets. At least not anymore
AnnieBahde
Well then fuck these people. Chimps, bears, big cats etc should not be pets and buying them young only encourages the awful pet trade.
bongles
Actually they're working on domesticating bears. Not like the circus, but by breeding the calmer ones. Who knows if it it'll pan out
FromDenmarkWithHate
I've been saying this for years, but always been called racist or insane! But thanks! <3
AnnieBahde
How in the world could it be racist?
FromDenmarkWithHate
Because I wan't to kill all asians as they are the majority of animal abusers.
peridotstar
Right after you posted, another comment said they were rescued from captivity but separated for treatment in 2 'Ngos'. They're together now.
peridotstar
They got reunited after recovery
DefenderOfDog
So those monkeys are slaves?
theitinerantnaturalist
If they were, not anymore. READ THE CONTEXT...

I have reread the definition of context.

Chimps are not monkeys. They are apes, like us.

Try and leave your country without getting permission from your keeper(government) and let me know how that goes.
