Spend enough time in the world of primate rescue and you get to watch the consequences creep into the human psyche. Not only are monkey lives forever damaged but the humans that hang around tend to wear a thinly disguised, unspoken ache. A South African phenomenon is at play: some farmers kill monkey mothers, forcefully separating their clinging infants. These pink-faced, traumatized orphans are then carried home and proudly presented as gifts to their wives.
