Scary looking Monkey dies in India after being attacked with acid

A monkey has died after suffering devastating injuries it got
after being doused by acid. Despite efforts from vets to rescue
the animal, it finally gave up the ghost after suffering from
severe dehydration and infections gotten from the burn wounds.
‘The type of injuries the monkey had indicated that some sort of
acid or chemical had been thrown on it as its chest was
completely burnt,’ Veterinary doctor Deepa Katyal said.
‘Moreover, since the injury was old, maggots had eaten most of
the flesh. It had burns on its face and hands as well, which were
completely scabbed. The animal was completely dehydrated and in
a lot of agony,’ Dr Katyal told local press.
Animal lovers claim the monkey could have been saved if the
Thane Forest Control Room had acted on advice that they would
need specialist equipment earlier, DNA reported. ‘We saw fresh
wounds on the monkey but since it was still extremely active and
agile, it was difficult to rescue it and we immediately told the
control room that we needed experts to rescue it,’ Pawan
Sharma, president of Resqink Association for Wildlife Welfare,
said.
