[/INST] No, it is not ethical or acceptable to subject any animal, including monkeys, to acts of cruelty or torture. Animals should be treated with respect and dignity and it is our responsibility as humans to ensure their well-being. Furthermore, there is a scientific consensus that animal research and testing is not always predictive of human response and alternatives methods should be used whenever possible. The use of animals in research and testing should be regulated and guided by ethical principles to minimize suffering and ensure that their use is necessary and justified.</s>
