A langur is chained by his master as he takes a ride on the back of a scooter in New Delhi yesterday. Monkeys and langurs are trained to “dance” through beatings and food deprivation and their teeth are pulled out by the trainers so that the animals cannot defend themselves. The government of India has prohibited the use of bears, monkeys, tigers, panthers and lions for street performances and all species of monkey are protected under the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972.
