There's no point in doing this today, says Tang Hsiao-yu. With the current abundance of livestock, people have many ways to get animal protein. The trend is to discourage people from raising or trading in wild animals in large quantities. "Raising monkeys as pets and eating monkey brain are not life necessities," he says.
人工大量飼養野生動物成為寵物或畜牧品種，在今天已非值得鼓勵的途徑，湯曉虞說，由於畜牧的發達，人們取得動物蛋白質的管道很多，今天的大勢所趨，並不鼓勵人們再大量飼養與買賣野生動物，「養猴子、吃猴子並非生活的必需品」，他說。
