Indonesian Law applies?

As any fule know, the photo was taken in Indonesia. Therefore doesn't Indonesian law rather than US law apply ?

As the monkey is resident in Indonesia, it is subject to Indonesia law, and under THAT law is a monkey capable of exercising any ownership rights ? I could image the squarks of outrage in Jakarta if the US all of a sudden declared him a person with property rights !
