Zoo In Japan Apologizes For Naming Baby Monkey After Princess Charlotte

A zoo in Japan has apologized for naming a baby monkey after Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte of Cambridge. The zoo says that it’s now rethinking the monkey’s moniker after being flooded with hundreds of complaints.

Takasakiyama Natural Zoological Garden, located on the island of Kyushu, announced on Wednesday that it had named a baby macaque monkey “Charlotte” following a public vote. According to the BBC, the zoo conducts a vote every year to determine the name of their first newborn macaque monkey.

“The name was publicly solicited and Charlotte suddenly became the most popular choice -- with 59 votes out of the total 853 -- after the British baby princess’s name was announced,” a zoo official told Agence France-Presse. “There was no vote for Charlotte before the Monday night announcement.”

On Monday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge announced the name of their second child, Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. The announcement came just two days after the baby girl was born at St. Mary’s Hospital.

Princess Charlotte is fourth in line to the British throne.

The Japan Times reports that Takasakiyama Zoo was deluged with complaints this week following the announcement of the baby monkey’s new royalty-inspired name.

The zoo “received about 300 phone calls and email messages demanding a retraction and asking the zoo to imagine what the Japanese people would think if a British monkey were named after a member of Japan’s Imperial family,” the news outlet wrote.

The AFP says the zoo is now considering a new name for the baby macaque.

Japanese always sorry for what they made mistake.

Did Japanese said sorry to Vietnam's great famine in 1944-45? LMAO if you Viets want to suck up at least learn to suck up the way that you dont shoot yourself on the foot.

They are saying Sorry for 70 years long. It's enough.

Said sorry??? have you read the article? ..it not even in their historical text book, you Viets are so Hilarious, keep comfort yourself this way...LMAO

...........
While such charged issues as the Nanjing Massacre, the comfort women, forced labor and unit 731 have long been the subject of intense debate in the historical memory wars, in textbook controversies and museum exhibits, the Vietnamese famine, and Japan’s role in creating it, appear to have disappeared from Japanese war memory and commemoration whether in textbooks or museum representations.

Why are you trying to incite ? You know that the relationship between Japan and Viet Nam is extremely high? lol.

Definitely higher than Viet Nam's relationship with China.

 

[BoQ77]

Yes and Yes for both above

Indeed a beauty. No argument from me. I just think the other young lady looks so regal and graceful. I like that 'look'

Definitely higher than Viet Nam's relationship with China.

I incite nothing, I merely said that this Viet don't even know how to suck up properly, With just two pictures you claim that Japan and Vietnam relation are extremly high than with China, tell us how much interaction between Japaneses and Vietnameses in real life compare to Vietnamese with Chineses? Sure politically some nationalist Viets will concur with you but in the daily life, it's just an opposite: Most Vietnamese live and doing business with us anywhere there is Chinatown either France, Canada or US, did they chose to live with Japanese community? I bet they don't even have any clue "where about" Japanese beside in Japan, and without saying border trade have brought our relation even closer. You Japaneses are only good with Manga and Cartoon culture but come to real life culture, you don't have much to sell.

STOP POSTING PICTURES OF WOMEN WHO ARE OUT OF OUR LEAGUES!

I think the strategic value could be in comparison to that Sudanese Teacher being lashed for naming a Teddy Bear after the Prophet (PBUH).
