New Report Reveals The Short, Tragic Life of Two Baby Monkeys Tortured & Abused for Facebook Videos

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE CONTAINS DESCRIPTIONS OF GRAPHIC VIOLENCE DONE TO ANIMALS.



Luna and Garina were two helpless, infant monkeys held by the same captor.
They were ruthlessly tormented, endured extreme cruelty, and were ultimately killed on social media, as exposed in a new report by Lady Freethinker (LFT) and Action for Primates (AfP).

Multiple videos of their short, agonizing lives have been posted for "entertainment" on at least 93 Facebook profiles, groups, or playlists -- and torture videos showing their abuse continue to be posted regularly.

Lady Freethinker and Action for Primates are urging Facebook parent company Meta to remove and block all content depicting such horrific animal cruelty.

Garina was a female, long-tailed macaque who was captured at about four weeks old.
She was tortured for three to five months before the video trail ended.
Garina's fur was removed from her head, making her more sensitive to biting ants, pinching crabs, and aggressive blasts of cold water she was subjected to.
Her captor bound her feet and hands before physically abusing her, and sexually assaulting her with their own hands, thorny cactus, or crabs.

Garina was also violently shaken and held down underwater, set upon by a large dog, dumped into deep water, and forced to swim until she nearly died from exhaustion.
At the end of her very short life, Garina can be seen emaciated, furless, and covered in wounds, her eyes bulging with terror and despair.

Luna suffered similar torture to Garina, and according to videos, she died relatively quickly.

BTW, this monkey torture for profit group on Facebook is nothing new.
These "monkey-haters" have been making money showing the torture of baby monkeys on Facebook for at least 7 years;
but Zuckerberg just lets them proliferate, (probably because he wants the money they pay Facebook)

The ones that did the torturing the ones that watched the videos didn’t turn them in Facebook, and other social media sites allowing it to be there
It doesn’t sound like that they’ve been caught either.
This is one of the things that is wrong with social media.

FACEBOOK is the main villain here; not "social media", not "X", not YouTube.....FACEBOOK!

I become progressively more misanthropic as I get older and thankful I did not click the link here. Maybe its a function of age, dunno, but this sort of sick shit sure takes a toll on one's spirit.
