"The Monkey Haters": BBC Eye exposes ring behind torture videos.

BBC World Services investigation unit, BBC Eye, has uncovered a global monkey-torture ring stretching from Indonesia to the United States.
As a result of a year-long investigation, BBC Eye found hundreds of customers in the US, UK and other countries, paying people in Indonesia to torture and kill baby long-tailed macaques on film.

The torture ring began life on You Tube before moving to private groups on the encrypted messaging app Telegram.
BBC journalists went undercover in one of the main Telegram torture groups, where people were coming up with extreme ideas and commissioning people in Indonesia to carry them out.

some people are soooo sick- i hope they are punished
to the very fullest extent of the law and their names should be
plastered around each country that participated in such demented
cruelty. Those who went undercover to shed light on this deserve
awards and probably mental counseling.
just horrific-
