Russia: Twitterattis have accused a Russian Youtuber of animal cruelty after he posted a baby chimpanzee smoking a bong, and a cigar.
Vitaly Zdorovetskiy filmed himself asking the chimp “Are you high, bro” in Instagram footage he captioned: “When your friend smokes for the first time.”
The video shows the chimp puffing on the pipe then bolting away towards a red sofa.
Many of his followers were outraged by the video, and some alerted animal welfare group Peta.
