not really, unless you liked it to begin with, like i did. but even i roll my eyes a lot. i knew that muffitt was a chimp back in the day – it was one of the things that was cool to 11-year-old me about it. it’s not like it was a secret back then – i remember articles about “how did they do that??”
to be fair to them, i don’t think this can be classified as abuse, either. i remember videos and articles showing the handlers and stuff, and they seemed to really care about the chimp.
