Delhi’s Monkey Problem

I sometimes jokingly tell my friends, “You got a problem? Come to me. I’ll make it worse!” Well, it turns out that the Delhi government might actually believe in that. Their deputy mayor has been attacked and killed by “a horde of wild monkeys,” and the BBC reports:

The High Court ordered the city to find an answer to the problem last year.

One approach has been to train bands of larger, more ferocious langur monkeys to go after the smaller groups of Rhesus macaques.

Really, I’m more worried about the monkeys in government.
