A reward has been offered to catch a suspected hunter filmed taunting an injured baboon and telling it to 'stop complaining' as it gasped for air.
Footage captured in South Africa shows an unidentified man grinning and laughing as he held the badly bleeding animal up by the arm.
At one point he asked 'does it hurt?' with the male baboon suffering from what appears to be a head injury.
The clip has sparked outrage with South Africa's biggest animal welfare group offering a R10,000 (£550) reward for information leading to the arrest of the 'animal abuser'.

It is not yet clear how the animal came to be injured, where exactly the footage was captured or what happened to the baboon after the clip ended.
But the National Council of Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NSPCA) today accused the man of 'tormenting the poor victim and prolonging his suffering'.
In an earlier social media post, it had said: 'It would appear that the injuries sustained were as a result of a hunt/killing attempt. In the video the baboon is still alive and is gasping for air and bleeding.

'The man is holding the baboon upright by the arm and saying to the baboon that he should "stop complaining" and ask the baboon "does it hurt?".'
The video prompted anger online, with one Twitter user saying: 'He has to be found and pay for what he did.'
Another wrote: 'I can’t stand watching this horrific scene.'
The NSPCA said in a statement today: 'We are now offering a R10,000 reward for information that leads to the successful arrest of this individual.
'The NSPCA fully intends to charge him with animal cruelty under the Animals Protection Act as this behaviour is beyond cruel. We ask all our supporters to share this post far and wide.
'We would like to sincerely thank everyone who donated to help us raise this reward - your assistance helps us get justice for abused animals.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
