He captured the monkey and in response, his colleagues choked the monkey and burned it with firecrackers, Shingo saw it and didn't really say anything until after the punishments were given out. That is considered being an accessory. The abuse was GOING ON LONG BEFORE Shingo's latest blog. Araken blogged about the abuse a week before Shingo's blog, which included all the pics. Have you read this thread?

that does not look like a happy monkey. You have to keep in mind that for monkeys, that's more or less normal looking. If you ever see a monkey "smile", stay away from them. Same goes for "kissie faces". That's actually their way of saying they're pissed off, and to give them space or those fangs they're showing off are going to be getting a workout.

Yea animals don't do human things they do animal things and we largely misinterpret there was a story a few years back about some tourists killed by a hippo because they thought it was being cute and playing and lemme tell you HIPPOS DON'T PLAY.

Have you read this thread? I've read the thread, and I've yet to see anywhere from DG that they admit abuse. The talk about "misunderstandings" etc...although like I said earlier someone needs to explain to me how seeing the first picture posted and seeing animal abuse is a misunderstanding. If someone will show me where DG said "this guy abused this animal and we fired his ass" I'll stfu.

This is what Dg said. "Thank you very much for your continued support of Dragon Gate. One of our rookie wrestlers made an unofficial blog detailing incidents regarding our pet monkey Cora, detailing them from the monkey perspective. We received many inquiries about the abuse mentioned in the blog. We apologize respectfully for causing such a great concern and worry. To confirm the facts gathered from our staff and roster. Cora has lived at our gym for many years. He is raised and cared for by our rookies and trainees, and is cherished and loved. The cruelty to animals allegations on the internet were investigated and found to not be true. The offensive blog posts have been deleted. Cora is now living with foster parents to ensure safety and remove fears of his conditions. The company will continue to investigate to uncover further facts and information, in hopes of eliminating any further doubts and recover the trust of our fans. The wrestler responsible for causing all this confusion has been disciplined for an indefinite amount of time. Further, President Takashi Okamura accepts responsibility for these events and will incur both disciplinary action and a reduction in pay." www.gaora.co.jp/cgi-bin/bbs/dragon/news.cgi"The cruelty to animals allegations on the internet were investigated and found to not be true." Then they should explain, picture by picture; what the hell is going on.

Shingo didn't say anything until after Araken blogged about it, what is up with that? Maybe he didn't want to get in trouble like RYOMA did for bringing it up. Since Araken blogged about it, it's probably safer for him to speak on it, given there's some safety in numbers with things like this.

You see that proves my point about there being an investigation, there is obviously some sort of cover up.

I'm just going to get out of this before I cause anymore trouble. It's just that one of the earth's creatures is severely injured.

Well, he was hurt, yet, but to be fair, we know of know lasting injuries. He may even be without lasting emotional damage, which I'm hopeful for. They are very tough animals. I'm not excusing the perpetrators, since I feel they should be exposed for who they are, but I'm glad the monkey was not maimed or killed.

Have you read this thread? Not just a week, though; two of Araken's original blog posts were dated from LAST YEAR, in May and June. EDIT: I checked, and the translation of Shingo's blog post is pretty much as accurate as possible, with a few small details omitted (the third line says that Kora is "as always" doing very well, and that the photo was taken the day before yesterday). Also, I'd like to read the official statement by DG to try and translate the whole thing myself, but for some reason the Japanese text from there isn't showing up on my computer, which is weird because I haven't had that problem with anything else.
