Much more monkey miserable than magic

They may not be the most popular of pets, but nonetheless, ‘monkey magic’ perfectly describes the lives of some primates in Japan, as they are clearly loved as much as the similarly named 70s TV show.

The existence of others, however, would appear to be mostly miserable, rather than magic.

    Your on a “misery caught in action” streak 😉

      Yes, I am a bit, aren’t I? Maybe it’s a niche I can try and carve out for myself!

    Yes, seems more tragic than magic.

      Yeah, to be honest, it was pretty badly treated. Not much in the way of entertainment, that’s for sure.
