Trapped in a concrete room with a chain wrapped around his neck, a defenseless baby macaque monkey named Pip desperately tries to flee his attacker, who ruthlessly yanks the chain, pins him down, and snips off part of his ear with a pair of scissors.
Pip, leaving a pool of blood on the floor, screams in pain, accepting his torturous fate.
This is only one of dozens of monkey torture videos an anonymous source sent to nonprofits "Action for Primates" and "Lady Freethinker."
[snip]
The videos are circulated by a private group of monkey "haters" who recruit on You Tube channels and formed a private group, first communicating on "Formumotion" (who shut them down), and now "Telegram."
The group includes U.S. citizens who are sending money to people in Indonesia to obtain the monkeys - including infants - who carry out the torture.
Under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, You Tube, Facebook and similar sites are protected from incurring accountability for the content users post on their platforms, even if that content shows graphic torture and leads to the death (of the animal).
Please sign this petition urging Congress to amend the Communications Decency Act and hold all companies and platforms responsible for finding and removing content that incites violence and torture to helpless animals.

Note: The heartless monkey "haters" in Indonesia who do these despicable things to innocent, helpless baby monkeys refer to them as "tree rats"

(33,471 posts)I can't get that photo of "Squeak" ..the baby monkey tied to a cross...off my mind.
What kind of sub-human would do that?
And the people who pay to have it done are just as evil.
