Couple Arrested for Making Monkey Meatball Soup

A couple in Indonesia was arrested for making their own special version of basko, a local delicacy that typically includes pork or chicken meatballs. But instead of going the traditional route, the couple used monkey for their meatballs–and they didn’t just use the meat of any ol’ primate–they used that of the rare Javan langur, also known as a silver-leaf monkey, which inevitably landed them in jail.

From the Huffington Post:

A local police chief said the couple admitted to selling the meat for six years. Monkey bones, tails and skins were found at their home, according to the Telegraph. The couple could face up to five years in jail.
