The father of a friend of my sister's was voted into government in India, but didn't move into the official residence since monkeys had the run of the place.
Now, that's a third world problem.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

You'd think they'd have monkey exterminators for that sort of thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Being India, "extermination" isn't an option.

There's a cool documentary called Cheeky Monkeys that shows up on Animal Planet et al -- it's about urban monkeys in Capetown, SA. Not only are they genuinely cleverer than raccoons, they have real opposable thumbs AND they will travel in groups of 10-40. And the monkey 'troops' (correct group name) get into territorial fights.
I'll take a skunk anytime, please.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am so sorry for your loss, Corwood. I think Tara was right when she said, "It's always sudden."

Yup--the monkeys have too much cultural significance for killing them in cleanup to be an option (and, honestly, can you see that working here?).
