Kidhuman Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Man, what a way to die..... Wild monkeys attacked a senior government official who then fell from a balcony at his home and died Sunday, media reported. New Delhi Deputy Mayor S.S. Bajwa was rushed to a hospital after the attack by a gang of Rhesus macaques, but succumbed to head injuries sustained in his fall, the Press Trust of India news agency and The Times of India reported. Many government buildings, temples and residential neighborhoods in New Delhi are overrun by Rhesus macaques, which scare passers-by and occasionally bite or snatch food from unsuspecting visitors. Last year, the Delhi High Court reprimanded city authorities for failing to stop the animals from terrifying residents and asked them to find a permanent solution to the monkey menace. Part of the problem is that devout Hindus believe monkeys are manifestations of the monkey god Hanuman and feed them bananas and peanuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Division Marduk Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hmm, it was only a matter of time before Jetophile's Monkey Hit Squad killed someone. When does she send them after mangini? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, I just saw this and immediately thought to say, "I had nothing to do with this." Well, I didn't. R.I.P. just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al NYC Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hmm, that's surprising. I found the monkeys in Bombay to be quite friendly. And well dressed. Seriously though, it was filthy. I probably contracted some sort of SE Asian disease from it. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Jet Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I did some work with monkies when I was with Sterling Winthrop years back. They are indeed filthy and very aggessive with each other. I once saw one jump up on the door of anothers cage only to wind up losing one of it's fingers . If a monkey were human size he would be 17 times as strong. Nasty creatures indeed.

What was it, 99.4% similar DNA? Although I guess a lot of species can be very similar so maybe that doesn't mean all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
