MONKEYS TO CHINA FOR VACCINES?

 

According to the Sri Lankan President, Truth & Reconciliation Commission is very much on Sri Lankan government’s mind, to address the Ethnic problem. To discover truth, one has to go into virtual reality mode of the apparent victim. Towards this, such a commission has to be headed by a Sri Lankan of Tamil origin. When we make our primary level experiences a our source of respect, their values become heritage. Rishi Sunak’s success in the UK is confirmation of this. Heritage is true value.

The primary level Sri Lankan war was in Truth between Sinhalese & Tamils, living in the place called Sri Lanka. It was not between Sri Lankans.

Those who fail to pay their dues to their primary home communities carry the ‘debt’ with them. This ‘debt’ becomes an ‘attachment’ to the past. Attachments promote relativity. Renunciation of benefits lead to Indepence. It is to prevent dependence that we need to develop heritages.

Only those who are Sri Lankans have the natural authority of truth, to express judgment through Sri Lankan laws. Only a Tamil will have access to another Tamil’s mind. In this instance, given that as per our knowledge, more Tamils than Sinhalese suffered, they get to lead.

Given also that the issue has been raised to UN level, and given that the UNP government, under the leadership of President J R Jayawardene became a si gnatory to ‘The International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) in February 1982, the current UNP President has the moral obligation to facilitate the application of UN standards.

As per the recent reports, the current government is planning on exporting to China, monkeys that are native to Sri Lanka:

Though monkeys are imported for various reasons including for meat, pets, zoos and circuses, the main reason for import of monkeys remains medically related research including testing of drugs, vaccines , transplants and infectious diseases of the brain and other organs Dr. Murali Vallipuranathan   at https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/monkey-business-sri-lanka-to-export-100000-toque-macaque-monkeys-to-china-a-critical-review-of-implications/

He claims the opinion expressed in this article with social responsibility aims to improve the public awareness on this issue and is not related to his official positions. 

 

 

As per Wikipedia

The generic name Macaca is from Portuguese macaco, of unclear origin, while sinica means "of China," even though the species is not found there…….The toque macaque is listed as Endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) due to habitat destruction and hunting, and also for the pet trade

The awareness could come also through the Hindu pathway. As per the epic Ramayanam – Monkey god Hanuman came to Lanka as Lord Rama’s messenger. Due to getting insulted by Ravana, the then king of Lanka, Hanuman set many parts of Lanka on fire. During and after the war, Hanuman worship in Sri Lanka, has strengthened considerably.

 

As per Dilmah Conversation about Toque Macaque

at https://www.dilmahconservation.org/about-animals/mammals--f9925cffabdd604dfab150bbcb49f2a8/toquemacaque--7fc570b4e4a8715ef0303e35ef4879b0.html

 

They live in troops, sometimes numbering up to 20 members, the dry zone subspecies has earned the nickname “temple monkey” as they are commonly sighted in the Cultural Triangle of Sri Lanka, where many ancient monuments including temples are situated. This subspecies has been the subject of one of the longest behavioural studies of any primate species conducted in the world.

One wonders whether the export is to weaken Sri Lanka’s protection – especially the Indian protection?
