In a village in southern Thailand, a seven-year-old boy named Ekkarat Srichan lost his life after being attacked by a pet monkey his family had raised for three years — a creature rescued from the roadside out of compassion, yet one that had shown signs of danger long before the fatal day. The tragedy asks an ancient question: when we bring the wild into our homes, do we truly understand what we are inviting in? A grandfather's act of mercy became, in time, the source of his deepest grief.
