God, they are just soooo far behind the times...

One approach has been to train bands of larger, more ferocious langur monkeys to go after the smaller groups of Rhesus macaques.

This can't be true, it sounds like something someone on AH would say when asked how to stop monkey attacks. A giant monkey army, to kill the smaller monkey army!

My dream in 4 words.

[Armin Tamzerian] Well, Lisa, that's the beautiful part..........once winter rolls 'round the bigger monkeys simply freeze to death [/Armin Tamzerian]

Also, pointless piece of trivia........."Langur" monkeys are where the derogatory term "Langer" originates.* Apparently, Irish people in the British army, who were posted in India brought it into the vocabulary.

I thought there'd been a second attack but Alas the monkeys didn't continue they're campaign of terror. I suppose that's why we live in houses while the rest of the primates live in trees.

I hope they go through with the langur monkey army, that's bound to cause ten times more trouble.

If monkey attacks are your thing - and why wouldn't it be?

I've been trying to find a video of the Belfast chimps rampage. Saw it on some animals attack thing, happen years ago, all the chimps broke out of they're enclosure and went on a rampage destroying the zoo.

The image of bands of vigilante monkeys roaming Delhi is hilarious.

Reminds me of the episode of the Simpsons with the Lizards.

Skinner: Well, I was wrong. The lizards are a godsend.
Lisa: But isn't that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we're overrun by lizards?
Skinner: No problem. We simply unleash wave after wave of Chinese needle snakes. They'll wipe out the lizards.

Lisa: But aren't the snakes even worse?
Skinner: Yes, but we're prepared for that. We've lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.
Lisa: But then we're stuck with gorillas!
Skinner: No, that's the beautiful part. When wintertime rolls around, the gorillas simply freeze to death.

Yep.
I made the mistake of thinking the OP had posted a recent link.
Luckily, someone had the time & generosity of spirit to spot & point out the error of my ways.

I think at the time there were a truckload of threads about this.
"Monkeys attack politician" tend to get boardsers attention

I was expecting to see a post in here from Monkeyfudge. I'll have to check it again later i suppose.

I seem to remember reading that people with the bigger monkeys on leashes (or whatever) were used to scare the smaller ones. They didn't just release an army of bigger monkeys!

Simpsons quote time!!!

You would have to ruin my mental picture.. Whats next? Down to the school to tell all the 2nd class kids there's no Easter man or Jesus?

monkeyfudge

They've been using the bigger monkeys to catch smaller monkeys for a long time now... I'm pretty sure I remember reading about it about 5 years ago... but then... I've always been ahead of the curve when it comes to monkey related news items.
