The zoo has defended its actions, claiming by making a monkey smoke, they're encouraging people to give up cigarettes.
A zoo is facing a backlash after filming a baby monkey smoking as part of a bizarre ‘public health campaign’.
The monkey, believed to be named Banjin, is seen sitting on a tiny wooden stool wearing a purple jumpsuit-style garment, dipping its head and blinking as it appears to try and avoid smoke getting in its eyes.She says: ‘Don’t you know smoking is bad for your health? Do you really still smoke? You still smoke.’
At the end of the clip, the monkey is offered a bucket of seafood, believed to be a reward for its performance in the ‘anti-smoking’ film.According to local media, the zoo claimed it was just a ‘gimmick’ when responding to accusations of animal abuse online.
