Rescuers saw this poor animal in an Indian forest with acid all over its face and chest.
When they tried to treat the Monkey, they found maggots already infesting its wounds and scabs covering its body.
‘The type of injuries the monkey had indicated that some sort of acid or chemical had been thrown on it as its chest was completely burnt,’ vet Deepa Katyal said.
The monkey was eventually rescued when it was so badly hurt it could no longer move.
‘Moreover, since the injury was old, maggots had eaten most of the flesh. It had burns on its face and hands as well, which were completely scabbed. The animal was completely dehydrated and in a lot of agony,’ Dr Katyal told local press.
It finally died yesterday after spending four agonising days in the Indian forest in Thane near Mumbai.
‘We saw fresh wounds on the monkey but since it was still extremely active and agile, it was difficult to rescue it and we immediately told the control room that we needed experts to rescue it,’ Pawan Sharma, president of Resqink Association for Wildlife Welfare, said.
Pawan Sharma added that the forest department should invest in equipment to be able to rescue monkeys.
It is not clear who and what poured the acid on the monkey
