Ronald Peet in “Bad Monkey” will premiere on August 14, 2024, on Apple TV+.
PETA Foundation Primatologist and Director of Captive Animal Welfare Debbie Metzler stated in response to the new Apple TV+ series “Bad Monkey,” which used a real monkey despite receiving warnings from PETA about the tragic Lives of primates used in film and television:
The real mystery of “Bad Monkey” is why showrunner Bill Lawrence decided to blatantly ignore PETA’s warnings that dragging real monkeys onto a set hampers conservation efforts and fuels an industry that takes them from their mothers and condemns them to death. a life of deprivation. , misery, and pain. PETA is asking the public to skip this sad spectacle and have Lawrence solve the case of his lack of moral compass by choosing cutting-edge CGI or other human technology.
PETA:
PETA notes that most primates used for films are separated from their mothers prematurely, a practice that denies babies the maternal care and nurturing they need for normal development. Their instinctive needs are completely thwarted and as a result they often develop neurotic behavioral patterns such as pacing, rocking, swaying, cage biting and self-mutilation. Many suffer from debilitating loneliness and depression, as their complex physical and psychological needs cannot be met on training camps or movie sets.
Additionally, investigations by PETA and authorities into animal suppliers to the film and television industries have documented that animals are often whipped, deprived of food during training, and housed in deplorable conditions. According to one worker, at one prominent supplier, monkeys were kept in waste-filled enclosures that were left uncleaned for four days. As wild animals mature and become useless to trainers, many are discarded in squalid roadside zoos or other substandard facilities, where they can suffer for years without proper food or veterinary care.
Take from Keynote USAs: Does PETA offer any evidence that the animals used in “Bad Monkey” suffered any type of abuse? Of course not. They simply looked at a still from the production (above) and issued a press release, probably while drooling. PETA simply wants to leverage the Apple brand in any way possible to generate publicity and, most importantly, donations. This is what they do and how they do it.
We propose that, back in the 1980s, perhaps because of the bombardment of synthesizers, the world experienced a Busybody Boom™ (a Karen born and raised in any other house), the consequences of which we will, unfortunately, have to live with for far too long.
