A monkey bit off an eight-month-old boy's right testicle in a zoo in Guizhou Province yesterday and doctors said the damage was beyond repair, Shenzhen TV reported today.
The boy's family condemned the indifference of the zoo management after the mishap and demanded compensation.
A park official told the family that injuries from money attacks "are too common and happen all the time."
He didn't even make an apology. His remark was recorded and shown on the TV news, which ignited outrage among Chinese netizens.
The monkey that broke loose from the cage and was playing with visitors suddenly attacked the boy when the mother was changing his diaper.
"It happened within seconds," said the mother, crying and kneeling in a hospital, begging doctors to save her son.
"Please save him. He is too young to suffer all this," the woman screamed and nearly collapsed.
Doctors said the baby was not in danger of death but it seemed the boy would lose his reproductive ability because his testicle had been eaten by the monkey.
The zoo agreed to pay 10,000 yuan to cover the boy's hospital bills but it failed to reach a compensation deal with the family.
