Kosmo! Ahad ran a story about outrage from animal lovers over an incident in which a dead monkey was hung from a tree.
It is believed to have happened in Terengganu.
A brief video of the monkey was circulated on Twitter, uploaded by an unknown person who said that a farmer had shot dead the animal which had entered his property.
Apparently, the farm owner had strung up the monkey to deter others from entering the farm.
He admitted to the act and that there were now fewer monkeys.
However, netizens were upset with what they felt was a cruel act.
“There are many other ways to deter animals from encroaching the farm,” one wrote.
