[reading from the sacred scrolls of the apes]

Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's

primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his

brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great

numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him;

drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

When one of the monkeys refused to ride on a child's bicycle in a street performance in Sizhou, in eastern China, their owner beat it with a stick.

 

Although they were tied to the man with ropes attached to their collars, the monkeys appear to have decided to fight back.

 

The two animals came to the defence of the third monkey, grabbing the stick from the man, pulling on his ear and biting his head.

 

When he dropped his cane, on monkey snatched it up and began beating the trainer on the head until he broke the stick, witnesses said.

 

The dazed trainer told his audience: " They were once wild and these performances don't always come naturally to them. They may have built up some feelings of hatred towards me. "

 

Local police are apparently investigating allegations of animal cruelty and may confiscate the monkeys from the man.

 

Performances with monkeys are a common sight in markets and squares in China, but the treatment of the animals is frequently criticised by animal rights organisations
