    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

    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.
    "We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    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.

    It wont let me see it but I have a feeling I know what you all are talking about. hoppefully if I can attatch it right & if its the same one it is really died, not an image it is real this is the caption that came with it:

    Colorful bunch : Monkeys whose fur was dyed red and yellow to celebrate the Year of the Monkey, sit on a tree at the Forest Safari Park in Shenyang, northeastern China. (AFP/Str )

    here is the pic (or at least the page with the pic on it):
