Since being shared online, the video has gone viral on several social media platforms and prompted angry reactions online. However, many also pointed out the leash tied around the monkey’s neck.

“Looks like the monkey was on a leash and was attacking the kid. The owner was then pulling the leash which led to the kid being dragged with the monkey,” read one of the many comments on the viral clip.

After retweeting I found out the monkey is on a rope. How cruel.
