Two American nationals have been arrested following a highly reckless and disruptive stunt inside a monkey enclosure at the Ichikawa City Botanical Garden in Chiba Prefecture.

“Punch” is the name of the adorable baby monkey. There was no violence, thankfully. All of the animals are unharmed.

And the point of this idiocy?

It was later revealed that this appalling stunt was orchestrated purely as a promotional gimmick for a cryptocurrency meme coin.
