most times but not allways so be careful

think most times they were shot for crop protection, it was another time and they wee not rare like this chipanzee in my neighborhood coming from Togo.

Think the Orang Utang was a little bit different, this was a common souvenier from dutch east india but I never heard that they made damage. it was just a way for the locals to make money.
there was an old Capitain and sea dog in my neighborhood too, now for many years six feet under, the lord may bless him.
was a man who startet on sailing ships in the 1920s. he was telling they had a orang utang on board for a long time as some kind of mascot. was a good boy but need to have his beer every day.
