"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.

currency is powered by faith. if nobody believes in its value, then it has none.

Oh so that's why on 30 April at night we all get together on Blocksberg to chant about how much we love the euro.
