In a Japanese “sake house” in the city of Utsunomiya, north of Tokyo, 2 macaque monkeys, called Yatchan and Fukuchan work as waiters. Most of the customers tip them with boiled soya-beans. The owner Kaoru Otsuka only has them work 2 hour shifts so that he doesn’t violate the animal rights regulations.

@reboot: Really? I would argue otherwise, and I think all the families with both parents working would argue the same, as would all the poor folk struggling to feed themselves despite working daily 12 hour shifts or dual 8 hour daily shifts would also say as much.
I respect you for being intelligent and well off enough to be able to university (verb) yourself into a comfortable place in this world, I did similar with yoga and my teaching ability, but such is a blessing that many people lack. Many, many people struggle in nigh-slavery just to survive even in this land of (expensive) opportunity.
Your statement lacks the essential differentiation between Humans and People. Humans may have such freedom, but People do not.
daddy ?
Excuse me, waiter? There’s Ebola in my soup.

Reminds me of home *sniff*
Working for beans longer than 2 hours a day violates animal rights… Yet humans so often have to work in excess of 8 hours a day for their beans…
what a sad sick little world of twisted up priorities we live in.
@sylvanish: The difference is that humans are free to choose if and where they work.
@reboot: leave it some people didn’t attended school ^^
@MonkeyHitman:
