Anyone else feel kinda bad for the monkey?


SPOILERS
At the end when he bites into the monkey and kills it. I don't know, I just feel a little sorry for it. Even though it is a killer, she killed for him I guess. Couldn't help but feel bad for the monkey.

No, that monkey was a badass! If he didn't kill Ella, she would have killed a lot more. He knew that was the only way he could stop her, by putting her out of her misery.

reply

Believe or not, I felt sorry for it too. She was just an animal.

I did. It's always sad when an animal has to be killed, especially in the context of it being a nice pet until something went wrong with it beyond its control. Kinda like a dog that gets rabies or something. Just think how sweet it was when the monkey hugged him around the neck. It clearly loved its owner.

Upsets me more seeing that cute lil monkey getting killed, more than annoying people dying in films.

" First you wanna kill me, now you wanna kiss me. Blow. "

Yea i did and so should alot.. The guy was wrong to do this to a poor creature that just loved him for who he was. Id never do that to any of my animals even if they did kill for me. No way at all...

If one of your animals is killing people and you don't put it down, that makes you a murderer. Owning an animal means you take responsibility to care for the animal and to control the animal. Can't have one without the other.
