@forgottenmemories63 I just moved to India a few years ago for some work...these monkeys are not only a menace...they have lost their fear of humans. Just the other day one entered my kitchen and started eating the food inside (through my open kitchen balcony door)...it refused to be threatened out and actually started to growl at me and advancing towards me. Finally, with a swinging motion from my feet it retreated...also, they have rabies.

Looks like the guy who was filming had to take off asap when that little monkey towards the end noticed him..filming his clan without permit ! lol! And as for as all this roming animals in India are concerned; well they should be all rounded up and provided specially built jungle santuaries; kind of like jurassic park !

No Animals are killed in India because Indians like Native Americans believe in Living in Harmony with other creatures..

If the creature doesn't bother you, Why hurt it ? That's what we Indians believe :D

But true, They are simply a menace, Other than that I can't see how they are dangerous, Either way it won't be long before they go extinct. We Humans are responsible for killing off every single species on this planet since the past one thousand years or so.

ive been there, i love it! its like the real planet of the apes lol, I LUV INDIA

[arnity123]

@havanacerroarti LOL trust me, you wont be saying that if you actually encountered one. They can be very nasty (mostly all the time). I have had my share of experiences with them.

Sometimes if you have food, they stalk you until a good time to grab it right out of your hands!!! They can also bite you.

@killbabymonkeys I like monkeys, because there are a biological, and naturally part of the biodiversity. You haters don't realize the

important function they have in the ecosystem, by dispersing seeds, and soil fertilising; if you are in a trip to a tropical forest like in Africa or India, don't forget, that there mainly seeded by monkeys, and birds. Monkeys are food for predators like leopards, wild dogs, tigers, lions, including others, like snakes, reptiles, and many many others.

So... Which one is Apu? And where's Aladin? Agraba, right?

@junkintrunk55 That sounds an exception, rather than the rule. I would be angry with any animal that bit my daughter and might be tempted to kill it. I know not everyone is Hindu. But see them squashed all over the roads? Really?? I have been to monkey infested towns and never seen any squashed monkeys on the road/elsewhere. Maybe I didn't look hard enough.

@sadhaklal I worked with a guy in India, and a monkey bit his daughter. He beat the monkey senseless, took it home and threw it in a cage. After it came around he cut a hand off, I guess for testing, then hung the cage over a fire and burnt it to death. It took about 20 minutes of screeching for it to die, so monkeys ARE killed over there. Not everyone is Hindu. You see them squashed all over the roads. A catcher told me you have to take them 100K out so they don’t find their way back.
