Horrific footage has shown a group of laughing people chopping a monkey 's skull open and eatings its brains after decapitating the animal.

The hapless monkey had been chained up before it was laid out on a log by a youngster at a building in Nghe An province, Vietnam.

In the video, a man hold’s down the lifeless creature while repeatedly smashing its skull open with a 12-inch long butcher's knife.

With the top of the skull sliced off and blood splattered over the surface, he then uses a tablespoon to dig out the monkey’s brains.

He swallows a mouthful of the pink flesh before passing more to laughing friends who wash it down with gulps of water.
