Planet of the monkeys?

Rampaging monkeys kill 250 dogs in India in revenge massacre

In a small Indian village, a pack of murderous monkeys have started a war with the local canines.

I have heard of monkey gangs going on rampages, but not to this degree. If it were me, and I was in a locale that would allow it (the monkeys were not protected/endangered), I would not be trying to capture the monkeys, I would probably be hunting/eradicating them from the area. I am given to understand that the monkeys in India have become a huge problem in urban areas?

Sounds like they need spanked.

Ep. 52: In India, Mismanaging the Monkey Menace

This month: Macaque monkeys can cause serious harm, but efforts to curb the population may be driving more aggression.

Yeah, they don't like that.

It's unlikely they'll do anything drastic because they are kind of sacred, not quite like the cows but vaguely similar, I seem to remember.

We have much the same thing here as those "protected monkeys" they have in India. Not exactly the same species (but, I hear they can interbreed)....
.... but in American Lib-glish they're called, "Loot Mobs" and "Mostly Peaceful Arsontesters".

Last I heard even Cops can't have a gun there but I wonder about the better air guns? That video shows a good air gun can sure get rid of the little pests.

It's kind of like eating your cousin. If that sounds appealing, you might like it.

We're all links in the food chain.

There's food, and then there's food. I know some folks eat it, but I was offered some once and couldn't get down more than a couple of bites. The thought was too much like, well, eating one's cousin. Maybe if it was life or death.

Anyway, it was pretty tough and chewy.

Good enough for Leonardo.

It's too bad that the sound isn't better.

Monkey's are little A-Holes. It always surprises me when I see tourists attempting to play and interact with them. I watched a western girl trying to feed one in India. Mr. Monkey took a really good bite out of her forearm before he took the food that she dropped.

So now she's sitting there with a wild animal bite and has to try and find competent medical care in third world shhh...err...crap-hole of a country.

Pro Tip: Do NOT mess with the monkeys.

This is people who are just too stupid to get out of their own way. Same thing happens here all the damn time. People think wild animals are cute, like on TV. Some find out the hard way that they are not.

in India, the monkeys are the least of your worries

You don't understand. The monkeys are reintroduced to protect the dog herds. It's scientifically proven by peer reviewed studies. More monkeys means more and healthier dogs because they only kill the sick dogs. My opinions are irrefutable. Also, Pluto isn't a planet and never was.

Wait, Mickey's dog was a whole planet?

Well said.

No, Mickey's dog was a big chunk of ice on the outer edge of the solar system which has been downgraded to a planet-like object.

P.S. ODFW has not yet attempted to reintroduce wolves there, but rumor has it that Jeff Bezos has offered to donate a spacecraft for the project.
