Chapter 3: The Dark Side of Monkey Selfie Research
Monkeys have been at the center of a controversy in the scientific community. Their self-portraits have raised questions about the ethics of animal research, especially when it comes to taking selfies with monkeys.
Dr. Jane Smith, a leading expert in primate behavior, had a very different view on the matter. "Monkeys are just as capable as humans when it comes to taking selfies," she said. "They're just not as concerned about the aesthetic appeal."
A recent study published in The Journal of Unconventional Research found that monkeys tend to prefer taking selfies with their eyes closed, often with a mischievous grin.
This raises the question, are we taking advantage of our furry friends for the sake of a good selfie?
Other experts argue that monkeys are not capable of giving informed consent, which raises serious questions about the ethics of the situation.
But Dr. Smith disagrees. "If a monkey wants to take a selfie, that's its right. Who am I to tell it otherwise?" she said.
