A 12-month investigation by the BBC’s World Service has reportedly exposed a global monkey torture ring stretching from Indonesia to the United States.

The BBC found that customers across the UK, USA, Australia, and other countries were paying individuals in Indonesia sometimes thousands of dollars to torture and kill baby long-tailed macaques on camera including via amputations, decapitations, and drownings.
