After observing Li slaughter a chicken, the one-armed monkey slaughtered another 80 while meticulously plucking off their feathers.

Li responded by severely beating his monkey. The corporal punishment seemed to work, but when Li was away the monkey continued to harass the chickens. Several times, Li kicked the monkey out, but each time, the monkey put on a sad, sulky face, and Li couldn't resist taking him back.
This May, local forest police learned the monkey is a rare species under state protection, so authorities asked Li to release the monkey into the wild. But the monkey refused to go.
Authorities decided to grant Li custody after considering their significant relationship, and recognizing the difficulties the disabled monkey may encounter in the forest. Police have stipulated that Li must regularly file reports on the monkey's health.
