In the News - All the Monkeys are Kung Fu Fightttting

Lo Wung had a great idea to make a little extra money. In Nshi, Hubei Province, the Chinese man had a bunch of monkeys that he’d trained for a show. Why not train them to do taekwondo? I mean, it’s an Olympic sport, Chinese people love the martial arts, and everyone loves a monkey! You couldn’t get a better combination of tricks to encourage public donation! Unfortunately for Lo Wung, he taught his monkeys too well and they turned on him, assaulting their master with their kung-fu skills.
It’s a classic martial arts movie set-up; the ungrateful student turns against the master. except in this case, the students were primates, who punched, kicked, and even attacked their owner with a stick! Wung got his pets under control by tangling them up with the ropes he uses to keep them from running off, but only after taking a pretty good beating. I guess he never thought to take into account the monkey’s natural love of violence before he taught them how to fight.

Did you notice the smile on the monkey's face? Too funny.
