New York Times. Again, I didn’t make this up…
Unemployed To Sterilize Monkeys:
India will use unemployed youths to capture and sterilize monkeys that have been raiding farms and attacking people. The idea, which will involve “laser sterilization”, drew quick condemnation. “It will do nothing to contain the problem and probably make it worse,” said Sujoy Chaudhuri. “Can you imagine what having badly sterilized monkeys running around will do to the levels of aggression?”
But wait. There’s more.
ABC News picks up where the NY Times left off…
“Indian authorities have struggled to deal with the tens of thousands of monkeys. They are drawn to public places such as temples and office buildings. In recent months, the deputy mayor of New Delhi was killed when he fell from his balcony during an attack by wild monkeys.”
Odd. I really didn’t know that monkeys were drawn to office buildings. Or that our Deputy Mayor was recently tossed from a balcony by a swarm of aggressive monkeys with scorched genitals. And the recent laser battles, between gangs of Unemployed Youths and badly sterilized monkeys, also failed to catch my notice. I really need to get out of the condo more.
