Out of Japan today comes just your standard story of wrestlers being arraigned for abusing their pet monkey. Nothing to see here folks.
It seems that one former and three current professional wrestlers were arrested after police observed them abusing a pet monkey while at a gym in Kobe, Japan.
Now, the police are bringing the charges to court, saying that the 10-year-old female Japanese macaque was burnt with a lighter, sprayed with deodorant among other abusive treatments. The police were first alerted to the situation after images of the monkey being choked and having a nosebleed showed up online.
As well, the suspects are in trouble for not registering the monkey with local authorities.
It’s a shame when people can’t handle the responsibilites of proper monkey ownership.

this is a sad story, but the picture of the cowboy monkey makes it seem less bad.
it would be awesome if they could give this cowboy monkey a makeover, and give him a spear and some cool armor. then have him chase mice or rats or something on that dog…
Hasn’t phil collins taught you nothing, japan? You should be SHOCKING the monkey, not burning it with fire and deodorant spray.
