Zoo Keeper Licks Monkey's Butt To Help It Poop In China (POLL)

You've kissed butt at work, but this zoo keeper took the metaphorical act to a whole new (and literal) level.

Chinese zookeeper Zhang Bangsheng, 50, reportedly did the unthinkable when a leaf monkey in his care couldn't pass a peanut: he licked its butt for "over an hour" to encourage it to defecate, China Smack reported, citing the Wuhan Evening.

Bangsheng claims the monkey was too small for medication to help it pass the peanut, so licking was the only way to help it -- after washing its bottom with warm water, Orange News reported.

Some news outlets are questioning the authenticity of the story -- and why Bangsheng used his mouth rather than the more traditional method: a warm cloth.

Hoax? Take the poll below!

According to the video by China's HLJ News, the monkey was the first of its kind to be born in the country in 10 years.

Could be true, I had some orphaned kittens that I had to stimulate to get them to defecate, but I used a damp paper towel and it worked just fine. Maybe he didn't have any paper towels or he was going extremely green!

he might be. Sorry if i sound racist but Chinese usually do the unthinkable, like eating fetuses and adding human flesh to capsules, so this could very much be true.

Is this real or did someone just make this up when they saw the picture? Does anyone here speak Chinese? Is that that the reporter said the man did in the video?

The scarier part is most of our jobs have been sent there and we have to take their JUNK. If true, are you serious, and these are the kind of workers making the JUNK they make for our sell-out corporations???

That's just sick. I was a Zookeeper Assistant for awhile (basically that position is the same as a zookeeper only we get paid less and no medical beniefts) and I would never commit to my job like that. The man could have used a wash cloth soaked in warm water to stimulate the monkey not to mention when an animal is having a medical problem they're sent to the zoo vet; that's why they have one. His zoo should sent him for an evaluation for his mental health.

it's an ancient chinese aphrodisiac. It's called "微小的猴屁股花生舔" (Wéixiǎo de hóu pìgu huāshēng tiǎn)
