A Malaysian man is facing criticism online for his cruel actions towards monkeys. He was caught on video feeding them ice cream laced with poison, with one video even demonstrating how to make poison-laced bananas. While the man claims his intentions were to help farmers struggling with crop damage from wild animals, wildlife officials have condemned his actions as animal abuse and a violation of the law.
A man has sparked online outrage after a video of him feeding monkeys food laced with poison went viral on social media. The viral video showed the man flinging what was said to be ice cream containing poison to the monkeys. A lot of monkeys gathered round to catch the ice-creams flung towards them, including one with small baby monkeys on its back.
One of his videos gained some online traction, amassing 560,000 views, depicting a demonstration of how to make poison-laced bananas in an attempt to promote the product. He reported that the man, who claims to have imported the poison from Thailand, believes the method of mixing food with the poison can solve the issue of crops being wrecked by wild animals faced by farmers that incur losses amounting to thousands of ringgit. However, other parties did not agree with the man’s ways after Director-General of the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) Datuk Abdul Kadir Abu Hashim said his actions were a form of abuse toward the protected wildlife species. Abdul Kadir stated that deliberately poisoning or killing protected wildlife is an offence according to the Act 716 of the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010
