“He shot a total of five darts into the mother until she dozed off so he could pry the baby monkey away from its arms. I was disgusted by his actions, he's lucky the mother monkey didn't die.” “Joe always attempted to distance himself from any illegal activity, but he had no problem involving his employees in it.”
