"Punch" is the name of the adorable baby monkey. There was no violence, thankfully. All of the animals are unharmed.

And the point of this idiocy?

It was later revealed that this appalling stunt was orchestrated purely as a promotional gimmick for a cryptocurrency meme coin.

If they're in jail, they're lot traveling.

No need for some unachievable world wide "asshole no travel list", the authorities of the affected countries just need to do their job properly.

This is one of those things were the victimized nations mostly are self-selecting by not treating people doing this kind of shit hard enough.
