Lo Wung, a 42-year-old entertainer in eastern China’s Hubei province, was on the receiving end of an ironic beat-down when several of his Taekwondo-trained monkeys turned on him during a show outside a shopping mall.
According to reports the entertainer was in the middle of a show when he slipped and momentarily lost balance. Then the monkeys attacked, with, and I’m quoting from the report verbatim here, “one quick-thinking monkey flooring him with a kick to the head.”
Hu Luang, 32, a bystander who happened to capture an image of the monkeys attacking, was in the right place at the right time.
“I saw one punch him in the eye – he grabbed another by the ear and it responded by grabbing his nose. They were leaping and jumping all over the place. It was better than a Bruce Lee film.”
The entire report pretty much turns into a cartoon at this point:
At one point the monkey trainer grabbed a staff to hit the monkeys, only to find himself facing a stick-brandishing monkey that cracked him over the head.
He only managed to get the monkeys under control by tangling them up in the rope that had been used to stop them running off.
Mr Hu said: “He was really furious, he made the monkeys kneel on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs to punish them and make them show remorse for their nasty attack.”
This story was reported in the Telegraph, which is a legitimate, fact-checking news source, so I want to believe it. But I am still dubious. It sounds too good to be true. And it was originally reported by the Sun, which is a British tabloid. You be the judge.
But in light of these events this monkey’s trainer should probably be worried:
