you remember that gag from cartoons where they are grabbed by the tail and repeatedly body slammed into the floor? yeah, that.

THANK YOU! WTF IS HE DOING!? That toddler did so great at holding on to that ladder! Toddler had ten times more instinct than that weak-ass father. *edit: spellcheck

MrTrashy101

dont think bro knows how badly a monkey attack can hurt you or even kill you.


TheGameologist

Rather you than your child regardless.


trotskeez

I know exactly what that fur fuck can do to me. The point is I don't care. It's not going to get my child. I will put my self in harms ways at the drop a dime if it means keeping my daughter safe.


give_me_wallpapers

That's why it's better to let it go for your child so you can mildly annoy it with your shaky leg.


remembertracygarcia

Don’t think monkeys know how badly a human attack can hurt or kill them …


EffectiveBenefit4333

Yeah they can bite and shit, but you got to use your x5 weight on the fuck and kill it. You can kneel on the fucker like an elephant and break its rib cages leg, arms, rear naked choke hold and and twist its head off. That fucking thing is not going to hurt my kid. And when the other monkeys see you murder that cunt, they will stay away.

Hello me! Nice to know there's more of me. Rock on brother. Edit. Source. Have physically choked out an enraged chow threatening my 4 yr old daughter. Would've stood up and stomped it to death but my wife pointed the optics of that move were bad for little girls.


SnoopyTRB

I find wives grow perturbed at the thought of having to answer questions such as “Mommy, why did daddy turn the puppy in to pulp?”


Klokinator

"Mommy, why did daddy lift the doggy up and body slam it into the ground ten times in a row? Why did he grab a metal pipe and start bashing its brains in while roaring like a lion? Why did daddy rip it apart with his bare hands?" "Because he loves you sweetie."

Why was a baby on the 4th rung of a tall ladder without parents to begin with?


Agreeable_Ad3800

Why was the child on that ladder to begin with?!


Cheewy

Also, what was a freaking baby doing in the stairs leading to a pool? Unattended?, in a place of the world where middle class neighborhoods and wild monkeys intersect!


AlwaysPosted707

That dad is an absolute coward it's fucking shameful


North-Function995

Monkeys are scary to be fair, and that one was aggressive and determined. Every right to be afraid. Still, I wish he actually did something too


_name_of_the_user_

Being brave doesn't mean you're not afraid...


AniNgAnnoys

This is why I liked One Punch Man so much. There is a scene where a super strong monster is about to murder a stadium full of people. First a fairly strong fight steps up and fights him. He thinks he can win. It becomes pretty clear the monster is just playing with him though and quickly beats him. Then one of the weakest fighters in the whole series shows up. He attacks the monster and the monster quickly tosses him aside. The first fighter lying on the ground, himself beaten, asks what the weakest hero expects to accomplish. The weak fighter explains that he knows he can't win. He never intended to win. It is about fighting evil here and now. He squares up to the monster again. The monster beats him in one hit sending him flying. That is when the main hero of the story, one punch man, shows up, catches the weak fighters and says, "nice fight man". He then does his thing, and one punches the monster. Fight over. The question here is what is a hero? Is One Punch Man really a hero for beating the monster? Sure he killed it, but he was never in any danger. What he did wasn't really heroic in the sense of being brave. It was more like how a stapler, staples paper. He just did what he does. Is the first fighter a hero? He came in with no fear, and pure bravado. Though he fought to save the innocent people, he fought more for his own vain glory and in the end lost. Is the weak fighter a hero? He didn't accomplish anything. He was weak and didn't stand a chance. Don't heroes need to be strong? What is interesting is that they are all heroes. Heroism has different perspectives and different times call for different types of heroes. Here is that scene following the first fighter being defeated: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgTuzKSRfLg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgTuzKSRfLg) \*edit here is a clip showing the fight with the first guy and then one punch man. It doesn't show the bit with the weak guy. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF8phIhdxho](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF8phIhdxho) After that clip, One Punch Man turns the monster into mist.

If an animal tried to take my baby, I would wring its neck right then and there... fear of rabies and ebola be damned. Like, this is Nature 101. What the fuck.

The mon was doing her best. Fucking dad’s lame ass kicks half hiding behind her is embarrassing. Step tf up.

Agreed. I'm all for being non violent with animals but it's literally going after your child.. you kick that thing like it's the game winning field goal.

There is no such thing as non violent when your children are involved. ETA: Keep forgetting this is Reddit so for clowns talking about jumping off the top rope & such. I’m talking PROTECTION of your children.

CRXCRZ

This is the way.


Khaztr

I think it was all a plot to get rid of the baby. The dad and kids hired the monkey to take it away because they're jealous of all the attention Mom is giving it. Dad was in the house trying to keep Mom distracted, but she managed to hear the baby and save the day. See? The video makes a lot more sense now.


fastpathguru

First thing first: what are kids doing with a baby on a ladder?


KoningSpookie

The thing which I'm rather confused about is... What on earth is a monkey doing in a garden?


MiroslavHoudek

I think the monkey was watching the family from afar for some time, saw the meh father and mid mother ... and when the older kids took the toddler on the ladder, it just snapped and decided to save the toddler from that environment.

Public-Platypus2995

I just watched it again like 3 times and I’m not kidding, I think that’s an unfastened ladder leading to an above ground pool. Like holy fuck it’s a miracle any of these dipshits made it this far.


olivebegonia

And where is this?? Why is there a monkey(?) in their yard??


lushico

I don’t know where this is but we used to get monkeys in our yard in South Africa. Humans destroy their living space so they are forced to look for food elsewhere Edit: a comment further down said it happened in Russia


MadDogTannenOW

Well that's an above ground pool. So 1 was cleaning the pool and the other 2 were goin to see if the baby learned how to swim yet.


KingoftheFlood

This entire video is complete idiocy

ProfuseMongoose

Those are teenagers that just left a baby to be mauled???? WTF, and they didn't even run to the parents to alert them????


DaddyGogurt

The way I see this is that the kids ran in the front door to go tell the parents, but the parents were on other side of the house and came out a side door. There must be a side door on the right because otherwise there would be no reason for them to be trying to get away from the monkey by going that way


Current-Power-6452

That dude is afraid to kick a monkey that is trying to kidnap his baby?


knect4

*any human baby


Current-Power-6452

That would be too much to ask, we did see three others running away, but I assume he would put up a bit more of a fight for his own baby that's getting torn in half. Those monkeys have tremendous grip strength.


Ok-Significance9240

Another instance of monkeys gone bad happened to a Ukrainian refugee in a Russian village. The two-year-old girl was attacked on July 22, 2022 by an escaped pet monkey, leaving her with severe injuries, per [*Newsweek*](https://www.newsweek.com/monkey-attacked-child-russia-ukraine-refugee-1727161). The primate pulled the girl from a swimming pool ladder and repeatedly attacked her, being relentless even when the girl's father intervened. The youngster suffered severe cuts on her arms and legs and lost a lot of blood.-I think this is the story?


HoboAJ

Newsweek is being very generous with the father's... *Intervention*


Ok-Significance9240

Exactly what I thought 😂


fuck-ubb

Ukrainian baby refugee in Russia, in July 2022??? Sounds like a stolen child.


coulduseafriend99

I guess that'd explain why the dad is barely attempting to interfere. Not your baby, not your problem 🤷🏻‍♂️

>The monkey had escaped from a "pet zoo" owned by a millionaire living nearby, who reportedly kept a range of exotic animals, including wolves, elephants and monkeys. According to the MailOnline, the menagerie is owned by the wife of a prominent Russian lawyer.  \*facepalm\*


adriansmommy95

Thanks for the info. I wonder why the parents would let a 2-year old near a pool unsupervised. Yeah she was with other kids, but they can’t be responsible for a toddler. The parents should have never left that baby’s side. Poor thing.

gavinsmash2005

Can someone explain why monkeys have so many videos of them stealing kids and baby’s? Like are they trying to kill them or just add to a collection.


nollataulu

Probably aiming for the most vulnerable to be their meal. Yes, monkeys can eat flesh.


notsooriginal

I have flesh, could you eat me, Greg?


RashPatch

monkeys WILL eat flesh. Can is an understatement. If you fight back to defend your kids they fuck you up as well. This is why our people kill them the moment they touch a child. We gave you fruits and this is the gratitude you give us?


Akitsura

I remember watching a documentary where with a specific species (or maybe just a specific troop), the males will snatch baby monkeys from other members of the troop and present them to higher ranking males to improve their status or something. They didn’t hurt the babies, they’d just show them off to the other males while chattering their teeth all excitedly. Is that what’s going on in all these “monkey tries to snatch child” videos? I have no clue. I also remember an instance at a Chinese safari park where a mom decided to change her baby’s diaper in front of the monkeys, and one of the monkeys ripped off one of the baby’s testicles (and I think the monkey might’ve tried to eat the testicle?). Here’s an article about primates snatching children, but it’s not particularly helpful: [https://www.distractify.com/p/why-do-monkeys-attack-babies#:\~:text=According%20to%20Total%20Tails%2C%20kidnapping,lead%20to%20them%20being%20kidnapped](https://www.distractify.com/p/why-do-monkeys-attack-babies#:~:text=According%20to%20Total%20Tails%2C%20kidnapping,lead%20to%20them%20being%20kidnapped)


Icantbethereforyou

Man I wish I could go back to before I read the line about the testicle


SnooPears2212

Monkeys may engage in baby stealing as part of complex social hierarchy dynamics. This behavior can be observed among female monkeys, where higher-ranking individuals might kidnap babies from lower-ranking mothers to control the population and gain power. However, it’s essential to note that such incidents are relatively rare and not typical monkey behavior.
