Monkey Wars!!!

So, it seems that I’m not the only one who’s been attacked my monkeys.

The deputy mayor of Delhi, India, was recently killed by a band of monkeys. His tragic death is apparently the latest and worst attack by the city’s “plague of monkeys,” which has harried citizens for decades. The solution? According to a BBC article, “One approach has been to train bands of larger, more ferocious langur monkeys to go after the smaller groups of Rhesus macaques.”

Now there’s a novel idea: train monkeys in the way of the ninja to assassinate other monkeys.  Brilliant!! /end sarcasm

I don’t see this ending well, but will laugh hysterically when it backfires.

    Does anyone remember the movie “Congo”?….monkey guard dogs never work out quite the way you plan.

    This is the start of a very bad situation.

    The Reese’s monkeys all get eaten by the new bigger more manly monkeys. There are no smaller tasty ones to eat so they turn to humans.

    Gorillas are brought in to handle the langur problem. Humans again become the next prey.

    Large cats are brought in to hunt the gorillas. Repeat ad nauseam.

    Eventually velociraptors are brought in to take care of the previous predators. The problem is that NOTHING hunts velociraptors. Doom is spelled “D” “slash rip gouge” “chew” “M”.

    Sloth has a really good point. Nothing hunts velociraptors. They are dangerous.
