December 17, 2003 -- ANIMAL activists were up in arms after MTV's season
opener of "MTV
Cribs" Monday night. The show featured Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion. At one
point the
cameras wander into the room of Playmate/Hef galpal Tiffany, who at all times
clutches a
2-week-old macaque named Pinky. The tiny monkey, wearing a diaper and looking
miserable,
sleeps in a crib next to Tiffany's bed and is subjected to her loud attempts
at
deejaying. Tiffany jokes that Pinky is the baby that Hefner promised her two
years ago.
Hef shoots back, "But I never knew he'd be so small and hairy." At one point
the creature
is force-fed a grape - to the horror of activists. "People who love animals
often don't
realize that unscrupulous dealers snatch these adorable baby monkeys away
from their own
loving mothers, a heart-wrenching ordeal, and that they will grow up neurotic
and
lonely," PETA spokesman Michael McGraw said.
