Friend,
Behind closed online groups, baby monkeys are being tortured for entertainment. Terrified infants are dragged in front of cameras while people around the world watch and pay to decide what happens to them next. These tiny animals scream and struggle as the people filming the videos treat their suffering like a sick spectacle for viewers who want to see cruelty carried out in front of them.
Investigators have uncovered footage showing baby monkeys burned alive, mutilated, and attacked while viewers cheer and request even worse acts. Some animals are struck with weapons or cut open. Others are drilled into their skulls while they are still alive. The cruelty is deliberate, planned, and carried out slowly so those watching can see every moment of the animal’s suffering.
People pay money to join private online groups where they vote on how the next animal will be tortured. Members discuss the violence, celebrate it, and push each other to create more extreme abuse. Investigators say these networks operate in disturbingly similar ways to organised abuse rings, normalising cruelty and escalating the violence against defenceless animals.
This cannot be allowed to continue. The people organising, funding, and celebrating the torture of baby monkeys must be identified, investigated, and stopped.
