A seven-year-old boy in Thailand was fatally attacked by his family’s pet monkey, Choke, who had a history of aggression. Despite the child’s screams, the monkey continued attacking until relatives stepped in. The boy died from his injuries, and his grandfather, who had previously rescued the monkey and now regrets releasing it into the wild, is helping authorities locate it. Wildlife officials are hunting the monkey with tranquilizer guns, fearing it could harm others. The family is devastated, vowing never again to keep monkeys, while authorities investigate whether the family had proper permits to own the wild animal.
