to be highly insulted on my monkey's behalf

I had monkey when I was little. He's since been adopted by 6yo dd. As he's 30+ he's lost an eye, is a bit baldy and much of his stuffing is missing.
I identified a toy hospital and sent off some photos. The response came back that he was "mass produced in the far east" and basically isn't the same calibre as many of their clientele. So no inpatient stay for a small stuffing procedure :(
Aibu to be shocked and discusted, genuinely slightly upset on behalf of a toy that is quite special to me and dd (ok I know iabu there) and ask whether anyone can recommend a hospital dealing with a lower class of toy?

Maliali, thank you for the offer. He says he's now starting to recover and is considering looking into his options. He will be in touch.

So happy to see and hear that Monkey is no longer a husk of his former self. He looks in fine fettle. My sheep says after seeing so many episodes of Judge Rinder he feels well qualified to represent monkey should he wish to seek redress at any time. Thanks for the wonderful update.

Not too shabby for someone 'mass produced in the far east'. Mighty oaks from little acorns grow...

Abso-fucking-lutely as monkey would say. He does seem to have developed this rather unsavoury swearing habit. I blame mil.

If it’s an consolation my sheep swears like a trooper. I’ve just looked at his label and see he was made in England by Arlesford Crafts ( so pretty well bred by the looks of him). A good pedigree does not maketh a gentleman (or gentlesheep in this case) it would appear.
