Monkey Business

(Fox News) - While the world worries about the crisis in Pakistan, there's a serious situation in neighboring India, where wild monkeys are rampaging in the capital city of Delhi.

The deputy mayor was killed when he fell off his balcony in a scuffle with a monkey. Another monkey reportedly scratched, bit and mauled 25 people. There are thousands of them in the city, and there is a program to round them up and get rid of them.

But a senior municipal official, A.K. Singh said — "The difficulties are a shortage of monkey catchers. We're not able to take full action at full speed."

In fact, the city's metro train authority tried using larger monkeys to scare off the smaller ones which cause most of the trouble. They tried this after a monkey boarded a train and scared passengers by scowling at them for three stops.
