Curious, Photo? Disturbing?

take a look at this folks....I am curious...what does everything think? Cute? Funny? Disturbing? I found it sad, kinda.

In China, they dyed these monkeys to celebrate chinese new year (year of the monkey)

Is that a real picture? I never heard about those...maybe they did that with the computer or something. But I never heard about dyeing them a different color:p

I can't really comment because I don't know if its real or not or what is involved in it if it is real :confused:

I sincerely doubt the photo is real. It looks like the color was "added" in Photoshop to me.

That said, if someone wants to dye a monkey, and the dye is harmless and the monkey doesn't mind, I'm okay with it!

I agree.

People dye dogs all the time. Frankly, most dogs like the extra attention. :)

They have salons that colours the animals fur. And most of it washes out when they get washed.

Photoshop, I bet. You can see a sort of "halo" effect - light around the edges of the left-most monkey, which happens if you don't do your "selection" carefully when you are adding the color.
