Justice for monkey abused and humiliated in public by laughing people!

This heartbreaking scene unfolded on the streets of Mumbai, India, as a group of local residents admired the scene, while laughing and cheering.

It all started when the macaque monkey pictured above started to cause havoc in the community. The primate begun snatching people’s food, tearing up pillows that were put up for sale by vendors and was a true headache for everyone around, according to residents. They say the monkey had it coming for a very long time and were extreme pleased that they had finally arrived.

Exclusive: Punish thugs that cut dog’s ears off and posed for photos!

Residents also argue that they had actually called local authorities, but their problem had been ignored several times. Finally, a professional monkey catcher was sent out to the scene: he managed to lure the animal using a basket of fruit as bait. The catcher then proceeded to inhumanely tie up the primate, to the delight of residents, who started to clap in excitement. As if this was not enough, the helpless primate was then paraded around like some sort of trophy, as everyone at the scene were applauding, happy that their troubles were finally over. None of the residents had any problem with the ill-treatment of this poor animal.

Shortly after this public and outrageous humiliation, authorities have announced their plans to ship the monkey back into the wild.

This is what a press release from Mumbai’s Maharashtra Forest Department reads: “We are currently conducting tests to see if the monkey is fit. If everything goes all right, we will have him released on the outskirts of Thane’

I find this abuse absolutely unacceptable and call for an immediate and profound reform of the animal welfare code. To treat a defenceless animal in this inhumane way is completely unacceptable. Laws must be changed and become tougher, to ensure that such incidents never take place again. It is obvious that no living creature should be subjected to such treatment and the mission of this petition is ensure this does not happen again indeed.

Support this campaign and urge wildlife authorities to draw up a new rulebook which stipulates how monkeys and other animals should be (humanely) treated and teach people how to deal with such encouters in a way that doesn’t inflict needless suffering to animals.

Thank you for your consideration.
