Searching for the person who tortured monkeys and posted photos on Facebook

A young man posted many pictures of a group of people strangling monkeys, tying up baby deer's legs, and shooting wild birds to show off his 'achievements' and is being sought by authorities.

Ha Tinh Forest Rangers are searching for the owner of a Facebook account named Dien Tai (believed to be from Huong Khe district, Ha Tinh) for posting many pictures of torturing and hunting wild animals and birds.

According to Mr. Hoang Quoc Huan, Head of Ha Tinh Forestry Department, the above animals are rare and are strictly prohibited from being exploited for commercial purposes.

Previously, in October 2015, authorities in Duy Xuyen district, Quang Nam province, administratively fined 6 million VND to 4 people for capturing two ferrets, then posting pictures of them on Facebook before butchering them.
