webfact Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Chained-up monkey forced to lift weights and do sit-ups in tourist show training Ning Nong the monkey is forced to lift weights, do sit-ups and slam-dunk balls in temperatures soaring higher than 30C as it trains to perform for tourists in Phuket, Thailand The monkey named Ning Nong is forced to do weights training at a zoo in Thailand (Image: PetaAsia via ViralPress) Heartbreaking footage shows a monkey being forced to lift weights and do press-ups while training to entertain tourists. The abused primate was recorded by animal rights group, PETA, last month at a zoo in Thailand's tourism hot-spot Phuket, which is popular with British holidaymakers. The campaign group's undercover footage shows a handler forcing the monkey, named Ning Nong, to lift metal weights above its head and do sit-ups. The monkey then has to slam-dunk balls into a net, ride a bicycle, stand on a tiny wooden stool and do press-ups. It has a metal collar and appears to be in distress while it is dragged around the squalid building in temperatures higher than 30C.

worgeordie Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 He should be out in the fresh air, climbing trees for Coconuts, but that's where he probably came from after Europe stopped buying Coconut products due to abuse of monkeys forced to climb and collect the nuts. regards Worgeordie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same thing was done a long time ago at those pityful and abusive Flea Circuses. I heard that the fleas got oiled every day but were never given anything to eat and were forced to live in a matchbox. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) Otherwise it would've been an honest job but slam dunking balls sounds positively evil. Autsch. Edited March 3, 2020 by DrTuner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humpy Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) These shows with similar degrading acts have been going on for at least the last 20 years or so. So why have the animal lovers not complained ? UK Daily Mirror recently show a picture of a baby elephant here in Thailand with its front legs chained together and a box nearby for tourists to give money !!
