Saw this on a few boards and felt I'd post it here:

Heard a rumor and I asked the invaluable LENNY~ to see what he could find about Dragon Gate's pet monkey being misused. I'll just C&P what he wrote me.

- They choked it by the neck until it passed out.

- They burned it with charcoal.

- They threw it into a tub of boiling hot water.

- Not sure on this one but it looks like they blew air into its mouth and it would cause it to crap instantly.

- They gave it sake regularly until it would pass out.

- Drag it around by a chain on its neck.

- attached fire crackers to it and lit them

- lock it in a box and spray antiperspirant in the box causing it to freak out.

It really disgusting stuff and they created a huge mound of evidence. These people are fucking cretins.

Here's some links to some of the posts. You can see the monkey is often bruised and bleeding. The first link is Shingo's blog taking a picture of the monkey being choked unconscious, it's disgusting.

The police in Japan are all over it as well.

There's also videos created by a wrestling fan that shows the blogs, photos and asks for help saving the monkey.

This reminds me of an incident where two random teenagers posted video of themselves abusing a cat. It also reminds me of the Jacksons discussing how the Dragon Gate crew abuses Stalker Ichikawa (hair ripping, shoot punches) non-stop on the road.

So... yeah.

Discuss.

Who exactly did all of those things? It's fucking disgusting. I hate animal cruelty above all else in this world, and this is another example of freaks abusing them.

Didn't really appreciate the pun in the thread name, btw.

Animal cruelty is bad but its no where near the worse thing you can do on earth. There are people out there that abuse molest and explote children all over the world. Im just sayin.

On topic those pics are pretty bad.

Meh.

Nice name, btw.

Who was it that was commiting the acts though? I didn't understand what it meant when it said the 'crew' were.

This is from another forum.

The issue really surrounds Shingo, Tozawa and Katsuo. Apparently Tozawa and Katsuo did a lot of the abuse, Shingo "ringleadered" it.

This is from Alan4L on DVDR

Someone on czwfans apparantly talked to someone with better understanding of the articles.

Apparantly it was Tozawa and Katsuo doing the deeds with Shingo as a "ringleader".

The reason stuff is on Arai's blog was because he hated that it was happening and wanted to call attention to it. Good for him.

The monkey was taken to live with CIMA's parents when it became apparant what was happening to it.

This will definitely stop me viewing DG in the future,at least anything with any of the people who took part in this. Glad I wasn't a huge follower. Just a horrible story.

sick assholes!!

**-Mystery-** · 05-28-2009, 07:54 PM

Yeah, that's quite disgusting.

Dragon Gate sucks anyways, but just gives even more reason not to watch it.

Hopefully someone within the States brings this to the attention of whomever and get Dragon Gate tossed from the States.

**Ricezilla** · 05-28-2009, 07:58 PM

Wow, what the fuck?

Surprised the monkey is not dead :-(
