Oh Great! Now Monkeys Are Using Sticks On Humans!

As we all know, the words “China” and “Human Rights” go together like “Chicago” and “Clean Politicians”. I guess we can add “animal cruelty” to the mix as well. It appears as though animals sometimes get caught up in the maltreatment, especially monkeys involved in street performances.

But no longer. Monkeys are now taking it upon themselves to fight back against their owners. And what is hilarious scary is that they are using sticks to take on the cruel taskmasters.

When one of the monkeys refused to ride on a child’s bicycle in a street performance in Sizhou, in eastern China, their owner beat it with a stick.
Although they were tied to the man with ropes attached to their collars, the monkeys appear to have decided to fight back.
The two animals came to the defence of the third monkey, grabbing the stick from the man, pulling on his ear and biting his head.
When he dropped his cane, on monkey snatched it up and began beating the trainer on the head until he broke the stick, witnesses said.
The dazed trainer told his audience: “They were once wild and these performances don’t always come naturally to them. They may have built up some feelings of hatred towards me. [gee, ya think?-ed.]”
Local police are apparently investigating allegations of animal cruelty and may confiscate the monkeys from the man.

Folks, lets face the facts: we all knew this day would come. First they use sticks on their trainers, next thing you know, they’ll be stealing your liquor. Screw it, we’re doomed. Might as well start drinking.
