The YouTuber is seen urging the monkey to smoke from a bong, and then asks him, "You high, bro?"
Later, he films the monkey eating, and asks, “Now, you got the munchies, huh?”
He also wakes the tired out monkey to ask if he wants to hit “the blunt, bro.”
Zdorovetskiy then uses a racial slur without hesitation, asking, "Hey, my n****, you good?"
The video was posted to Vitaly's Instagram 3 days ago and has garnered over 822 thousand views, however most people were unamused and accused Vitaly of animal abuse.

This is disgusting and not funny. @JaneGoodallInst please check this out, something needs to be done if he’s abusing animals.

I don't want anyone to get it twisted. I'm pro cannibis but NOT subjecting innocent animals to smoke. They did this for a "laugh" & that's fucked up. I'd kick each of them in the balls if I could.

This literally makes me sick to my stomach..... I couldnt watch the whole video, nor do I want to. I hope you do get banned and realize what you have done is just plain wrong!
