True Story - When Monkeys attack, fight them with bigger Monkeys.

The deputy mayor of the Indian capital Delhi has died a day after being attacked by a horde of wild monkeys. SS Bajwa suffered serious head injuries when he fell from the first-floor terrace of his home on Saturday morning trying to fight off the monkeys.

The city has long struggled to counter its plague of monkeys, which invade government complexes and temples, snatch food and scare passers-by. 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.
The city has also employed monkey catchers to round them up so they can be moved to forests. But the problem has persisted.

...

This is a sad situation, but training monkeys to fight monkeys. . . :wtf:

1. Bigger isn't always better... they should make sure that the anti-monkey monkeys are better trained.
