she has 6.9 million followers on TikTok, so that's good.

Maybe she could make a vlog about how animals are treated in an Australian abattoir next? She's the sort of silly touristy girl who goes around feeding soi dogs feeling all virtuous. She's not seen anything here if she thinks a monkey on a chain is bad.

Rory? ???? thanks for the reminder of why I,m here.!

Oh.. my goodness this generation is finished.

Don't take her post out of context; she posted about a very specific situation.  What wild animal would enjoy being chained and forced to sit on strangers' laps day in and day out?

She doesn't influence me

Wait until she finds out there are wars and people die

6.9 million followers. Does anything else need to be said about the decline of civilization, and the ridiculousness of social media? I mean really. Do these "followers" actually have a life? 

 

And while animal cruelty is real and it is horrible, how does she feel about the cruelty inflicted upon the lambs, cows and pigs she eats daily? Not much difference, just on a horrendously larger scale. I don't eat animals other than chickens and fish, because I feel that unless you are willing to kill the animal with your own hand, then it is a somewhat hypocritical morality that goes into the consumption of the meat. 

 

A similar equivalency, no? Not something animal lovers who eat meat like to discuss.

I feel sorry for the monkey business owner. 

Him and his family have probably making a small income for generations and this woman comes along and destroys their livelihoods

Why, oh why? I understand the interest in a sports figure or a celebrity. But, why follow whatever they do and say? They are people. Why treat them as dieties? And who has the time to keep up with all the tweets and messages? Why? I just don't understand celebrity worship culture. Thankfully.

Not a lot of  lamb crutching on cattle stations! ????

A small act of cruelty is not justified by there being worse cruelty in other places.   

Eliza is entitled to her opinion. 

There is nothing to justify any act of cruelty against any animal.
