😮 Your question just reminded me of a news report I read about ~10 months ago about a female orangutan that was trafficked.

The handlers would clothe her in a dress, earrings, eye shadow, lipstick, etc. And then pimp her out to wealthy business men.

IIRC I think this occurred in the southeast Asia region.

I did not save the sauce. Sorry. I was pretty disgusted.

My guess is that it might be to distinguish Human ST from other types of ST. And if so, here's where I really would rather not know about all the other types.

EDIT: Here's a story. Might not be the same one I had read. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/7829159/prostitute-orangutan-pony-tragic-story/
