Hollywood funnyman Ben Stiller had the time of his life when he was beaten up by two monkeys recently on the set of his new movie Night At The Musuem: Battle Of The Smithsonian.
The incident took place when the actor was filming a fight scene with the mischievous animals and they gave him several slaps on his face and body, reported contactmusic.com.
Though Stiller wanted to punch them back, he dropped the idea for the sake of animal rights laws and took out his frustration on a dummy monkey instead.
"We have two (monkeys) this time. I had to do a slap fight with them. I basically get slapped by both of them, but I am not allowed to slap them back because of animal rights, so I have to slap a dummy or a tennis ball when they're off-screen. It's a weird experience," Stiller said.

I agree, he should not spank monkeys.

You are correct. Monkeys are small but very very VERY strong and fast.
My dad as a young child at the San Diego Zoo saw people feeding peanuts to the monkeys. Not having money, he thought he would gather up the peanuts that had hit the bars and fallen behind the safety rail, then stand back behind the safety rail and throw peanuts into the cage.
Well the monkey inside the cage didn't think much of my dad gathering up those fallen peanuts. He felt a little hand grab a hand full of hair and yanked his head up against the bars. Then two little monkey feet perched on his head, scratching him as the monkey leaped up off him; then at the hight of his jump he yanked out the handful of hair and came down with hammer force with his other little monkey fist.
That little monkey did that to my dad THREE times in THREE seconds; he had three patches of hair ripped out, six sets of monkey scratches, and three cartoon looking bumps on his head.
He said he was the only boy he ever knew SPANKED by a monkey.

Though Stiller wanted to punch them back, he dropped the idea for the sake of animal rights laws All animals are equal, some are more equal than others. Humans do not have the right to self-defense in Hollyweird.
He should've punched the animal wrangler instead.

They think throwing poo is knee slapping funny.
Seeing a monkey or NH ape laugh really tickles me.
