Medical students kill monkey on campus, 4 suspended

VELLORE: Just months after a dog was thrown off a terrace by medical students in Chennai, yet another brutal case of animal abuse emerged, this time in Vellore. Students of the Christian Medical College tortured and killed a monkey on campus and later buried it close to the college mess. The body, which was exhumed by animal rights activists shows the hands of the animal tied behind its back and a telephone cable wrapped around its neck. Antony Rubin, an animal welfare board member said, "Students say they inserted a sharp object into the animal's genitals." The four students involved in the incident were suspended, while no arrests have been made.
