There are many wild caught, endangered primates smuggled for illegal trading in Thailand. The Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre underwent an undercover investigation at Safari World in Thailand in 2002. More than a dozen orangutans and several chimpanzees were found dressed up and made to perform a Thai boxing match. All these orangutans were juveniles and there were no adult orangutans found in the park.
There are many primates in Thailand and other parts of the world that are forced to wear clothes and pose with tourists for photographs. After the photo sessions they are often chained up inside very small cages. Some primates have their incisors and canine teeth removed to prevent them from attacking.
