On the internet, there exists a dark web that many people aren’t aware of.

The dark web is a place where immoral, illegal, and downright evil acts take place. From human trafficking to child pornography and more, there’s a lot of activity on the dark web that warrants serious consequences for those who choose to get involved.

This reality was recently brought to light, amid the discovery of a monkey torture ring. The story and developments are gruesome. However, it’s important to be aware of what transpired so that it never happens again.

According to the Daily Mail, all of the individuals involved in this monkey torture ring are being rightfully held accountable.

Here in America, Indonesia, and in the United Kingdom, people were purchasing monkeys, murdering them on camera, and paying to see this play out.

These innocent animals were subjected to gruesome fates, such as having their fingers cut off or their heads smashed against walls. The people who committed these acts and watched them play out had absolutely no sympathy or remorse for the monkeys they tortured.

Now, authorities have confirmed that people are being investigated, arrested, and indicted for their role in the cruel treatment of animals.

As the people involved now have to face the music for what they’ve done, some are saying they were hacked, but authorities aren’t falling for this.

On social media, people are rightfully expressing shock and horror about this story. Others are hoping the consequences being given to everyone involved in this torture ring will dissuade others from being part of this type of criminality going forward.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time innocent animals have found themselves on the receiving end of abuse from human beings. The reality is animals are living creatures just like us and deserve to be free of torture and abuse.
