Man-monkey wars rage on

Yesterday I wrote about a couple of monkey vs. human skirmishes. But in India, the war between higher and lower primates is waged on a massive scale. This article reports that "Unpleasant man-monkey faceoffs are becoming a terrifying part of everyday life across India."

Hkbilder Monkey[1]
Purnima Verma always scans the outdoors carefully through her heavily
grilled front window before leaving her home in Ghaziabad, Uttar
Pradesh. She'll step out only if she doesn't see a rhesus monkey.
Even then it's only with a heavy stick. The 35-year-old homemaker
doesn't want a repeat of what happened in July, when a monkey attack
left her with a mangled arm, a scratched face and a ripped ear.
