There have been plenty of instances that deem some humans unfit for co-existence with other species on this planet. And yet, every time we hear a new story of shameful cruelty towards animals, we find our hearts broken beyond repair, all over again.

In another shocking incident, four medical students of Christian Medical College in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, captured, tortured and murdered a female monkey that accidentally entered their rooms on 19th November.

The students in question tied up the monkey and tortured her at length. This involved beating her, abusing her and fatally injuring her.

After the unspeakable agony they put the animal through, these students had the monkey's body buried behind the hostel mess with the help of the college sweepers. It was only when authorities were informed of the incident by other students from the college that they were apprehended.

A team was then dedicated to unearthing the poor creature's body for a post-mortem and the perpetrators of this crime have been slapped with an FIR. The college management is still in a state of utter shock and have promised that unforgiving action will be taken against said students.

The Facebook post about this deplorable act of animal cruelty reveals the extent of cruelty that was inflicted on the speechless creature.

The following text is extremely graphic in nature, and we advise discretion.

"One of the most shocking and heart wrenching cases I have ever done. 4 medical students from Christian Medical College, Vellore had a caught a female monkey which entered their rooms.

They tied her hands and started abusing and torturing her by beating her with sticks and belts, broke her legs, jaws and finally put a rod up her anus and killed her. The monkey was buried behind the hostel mess by the college sweepers. The incident happened on the 19th of Nov Saturday 12 30 PM. The students inside the colleges informed Meet Ashar from Bombay and he informed our team. Dinesh Baba Nishanth Nichu Antony Rubin and we left from chennai and reached vellore. We have filed an FIR against these students and cases were booked under IPC 429 and Wildlife protection act of 1972. The monkey's body was excavated in front and sent for postmortem.

The entire college is in a state of shock and the management promised to take severe action against the students.

The degree of cruelty and pain the monkey has gone through is beyond words. We have all been having sleepless nights after we saw the body of the monkey. Extremely distributed.

What's happening to medical students these days?"

If this is the truly disturbing violence that human beings training to save lives are capable of, is there any hope for our race at all?
