@artmonet556@ichikawa_zoo It’s getting tiring seeing this little one getting attacked even when sleeping, can you imagine what happens at night when his sleeping, very upsetting.
@ticagg Thank you for posting what happened after he got attacked by the bigger monkey, at least I know now that he’s ok, to be honest I was really upset seeing the attack while punch is sleeping and was wondering what happened to him afterwards.
@LoveisCYJ I think nothing is being done, punch still get attacked , donated money is not used to protect him, maybe it’s time to make a petition against this zoo.
@YVemula5063 the poor thing is sleeping and still being attacked! imagine what they’re doing when people are not there to video him, all the donated money will still go to waste coz this monkey will kill punch eventually.
@ktsmj1004 the little one will die with all his injury and all donations will go to waste, it didn’t get better, punch is being attacked even when sleeping.
@LuCa_KaGuYa Our donated money will just go to waste! they will kill punch soon with his injury. I don’t believe this is part of being told, the poor thing is asleep.
.@bookingcom and @WSOBE you both say the other is responsible for cancelling and refunding my trip, and no one will help me figure this out.
My infant and I are sick and can’t travel. Can you please work this out?
Nunca compren vuelos con @bookingcom. Me cambiaron el itinerario 2 veces a horarios imposibles. Llevo más de 30 días esperando mi reembolso y su atención al cliente solo me da largas: no dan respuesta, ni solución, ni número de folio. ¡Una total falta de respeto! 😡 Estafa.
Ryu died at just 6 years old. 🕊
The only reason he survived as long as he did was because of Goron and Otome protecting him.💙
For 6 years Ryu was bullied, attacked, injured, removed from the troop, treated, then placed back again and again in repeated attempts to reintegrate him. Every time he was removed, he became more of a stranger to the troop when he returned. And eventually Akira would target him again. In the end, those injuries cost him his life.🕊
Nanako was also hand-reared. She struggled to fit into the troop too. Constant fights, removals, reintegration attempts… over and over. Eventually she lost fear of humans and began attacking people. After years of suffering injuries from the troop, Nanako was finally removed. Today she lives alone at Ichikawa Zoo. She survived because intervention finally happened.
So why couldn’t Ryu have been permanently removed too? He might still be alive today.
Otome’s success made people believe every hand-reared macaque would eventually fit in. But Ryu failed. Nanako failed. Every hand-reared male failed. Out of the 6 hand-reared macaques, only the remaining females are still alive today.
So why can’t Punch be rehoused?
Why can’t he live separately?
Why can’t a smaller group of younger macaques be introduced instead?
Sometimes survival should matter more than forcing integration at all costs. 🐒#JapaneseMacaque #SnowMonkey #PunchKun #Macaque #Monkey #Primate #AnimalWelfare #ZooEthics #HandReared #PrimateCare #MonkeyLife #AnimalBehaviour #Wildlife #CompassionForAnimals #ProtectPunch #SavePunch #PrimateWelfare #ZooLife #MonkeyTroop #JapaneseMonkeys #AnimalAdvocacy #Otome #Ryu #Nanako #IchikawaZoo @ichikawa_zoo
Freedom… isn’t free.
It’s earned through courage, sacrifice, and the quiet strength of those who stand ready to defend it.
From the young soldier gazing at our flag… to the families who wait and pray… freedom demands a price.
Marines carrying folded flags, veterans who still stand tall, and the brave who board the choppers knowing they may not return.
Every kiss in celebration, every funeral with honor, every white cross in sacred ground… reminds us what liberty truly costs.
So when you see that flag wave, remember the tears, the courage, and the lives given so we could live free.
Freedom… isn’t free. Thank you to all who paid the price.
