CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: There exists a “monkey torture network” that made money by producing and circulating sadistic videos of monkeys, mostly juveniles, getting tortured and killed in the most horrible ways possible.
After a few men found this heinous way to get rich, several primates reportedly lost their lives in Indonesia after suffering terrible atrocities. A BBC investigative report revealed that a network of monkey torturers used the Telegram app to identify people from all over the world who would like to see the animals tortured and killed.
