Punch, the viral “lonely” monkey from Ichikawa City Zoo, once gave the internet hope after appearing to adjust and make friends, but new videos show him being bullied again, leaving netizens heartbroken and furious.

Punch, a baby Japanese macaque at Ichikawa City Zoo, gained global sympathy after being rejected by his mother and finding comfort in an orangutan plush toy.

Punch's mother, perhaps due to it being her first litter or reduced stamina from the summer heat, showed no interest in caring for her young, the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper reported.
