Dragon Gate Wrestling Involved In Horrific Animal Abuse
Horror stories out of Japanese wrestling Dojos are nothing new. For years there have been stories of extreme hazing, sexual rituals and other forms of abuse surrounding rookie wrestlers, but a story hitting the mainstream headlines in Japan doesn’t involve a willing athlete but a defenseless monkey.
Several wrestlers at the Dragon Gate promotion, which is starting its first US tour, have been implicated. The monkey lives in the dojo and supposed to be under the care of the wrestlers, however according to reports, wrestlers constantly tease the monkey and have:
- Choked him by the neck until it passed out.
- Burned the monkey with charcoal.
- Threw him into a tub of boiling hot water.
- Blew air into his mouth so it would defecate itself.
- Gave the monkey sake (Japanese alcohol) regularly until it would pass out.
- Dragged it around by a chain on its neck.
- Attached fire crackers to him and lit them
- And locked him in a box and sprayed antiperspirant inside, causing it to freak out.
The wrestlers implicated are Shingo Takagi, Akira Tozawa and Katsuo/Yuki Ono, after they openly blogged about the abuse. The monkey has since been adopted by a loving family.

Pieces of crap. that’s pretty Horrible,they should be ashamed of themselves. i would never watch these D-Bags wrestle.
Losers. They deserve a one way ticket to Hell just like Vick. Why do people abuse animals. They are SICK
i say they should rot in prison for a long time. pieces of fuckin shit
HORRIBLE…EVERYONE WHO WAS DOING ALL THESE CRUEL ACTS SHOULD HAVE THEM DONE TO THEM INFRONT OF EVERYONE SO WE CAN SIT THERE AND LAUGH ON HOW FUNNY IT IS….I HOPE THEY ALL GO TO JAIL AND ROT FOR LIFE
I hope they all die horrible, painful, bloody deaths. That picture is too awful for words.
I almost feel ashamed now for liking Shingo’s work in ROH. This is disgusting and I hope they are all severely punished.
People are so freaking cruel! How can you do this to anyone or anything?! That is sick and it shows how heartless people can be. Like, seriously, WHAT FUN CAN YOU POSSIBLY GET OUT OF TORTURING A MONKEY?? Its not cool or funny and people like this should DIE.
animal abuse is unforgivable period!!!!
I don’t care who it is..or where…..any human that is caught doing it oughta have the same stuff done to THEM…..it is outragious!!!
NO EXCUSE for abusing any animal anywhere!!!
First off,thank god for the family that adopted the monkey they are truly angels!
The article said that the monkey was under the care of the wrestlers; who were the wrestlers under the care of?! I hope all who were involved in the HORRIBLE abuse of this beautiful animal pay dearly with their lives!!!!
im sad to see akira tozawas name on this list
A disgusting and cruel act perpertraited by some truly sick indeviduals who deserve to be punished to the full extect of the law. Horrible
Okay, I can understand getting a monkey drunk, this is a common thing in a circus to do… not to mention people will do it to their dogs from time to time… But not until he passes out and the torturing is OUT OF THE QUESTION and frankly I hope the D-holes get whats coming to them. Bless the family that is taking care of him now.
this is fucking sick , these fucking pieces of shit must not be allowed to enter in US , how can thy have fun tourturing an animal . this is really sad
Omg this is crazy , how can they do such cruel things?
That’s F*cking sick!
those fucktards!!
I think we can all agree that animal abuse is a horrible thing, BUT reading some of the comments wishing death to the perpetrators really makes me wonder what kind of world we live in…. scary and sad
I am a STRONG believe in an eye for an eye… This would be a perfect example of why… Lets see these “tough guys” enjoy having a strip of firecrackers strapped to their back and lit… I can only hope they have had high doses of sake and they bleed out… worthless pricks!!!
http://prowrestlingwebcast.libsyn.com – The 6/1 episode has our commencing off what is going to go down with Dragon Gate. Im going to treat these morons worse than what they did to that monkey. I already sent information to HSUS and PETA. Next is the local papers where the US shows will debut. Then its the building, and possibly some additional treats. They will need to consume buckets of sake to treat the mental onslaught they receive.
wow, i cant believe shingo was involved in this. Dragon’s gate is going to loose a lot of respect around the world for this!!!
Those F*ucking Bastards! I’d enjoy to watch the monkey trow him in a pot of molten lava
I thought Japanese wrestlers were supposed to be honorable. This certainly is very dishonorable and shameful. These are horrible people and someone needs to help this poor monkey!!!
I’m surprised they didn’t eat him!
They must be so brave – cowards is an understatement.
I hope someone RAPES and TORTURES each of these scumbags in prison.
what a bunch of idiots here. people in the usa get short sentences all the time for murder and you want to see these people killed for abusing an animal. makes me ashamed to be born here where the priorities are so messed up. i agree they should be punished , but lets make it fit the crime. SHEESH get a life
I love the amount of judgement being passed out here. Everybody is saying how these wrestlers should be tortured, raped and should go to hell because of this. You all sin on a daily basis and you only come down on other people because its not out there like this monkey abuse story is. You’re no better than those PETA idiots.
Fujita is a dishonorable dog, a waste of human skin, and an insult to the sport. He and Dragon’s Gate (since all were involved in this matter) are collectively responsible for abusing a defenseless monkey for entertainment.
Fujita and Dragon’s Gate should pay for this crime, and should lose their wrestling license.
