Delhi court ban on errant monkeys


The High Court in the Indian capital, Delhi, has directed the city's civic authorities to rid the premises of a top court of marauding monkeys.

The court told the authority to catch monkeys who were disrupting work at the Tis Hazari courts within a month.

A petitioner complained that the monkeys were attacking lawyers and their clients and snatching their food.

Delhi suffers from a serious monkey menace, with scores of animals seen across the city.

The monkeys are mostly seen around top government offices.

"The monkeys are mostly seen around top government offices."

We have our own set of monkeys, and one very "special" chimp.

4. Naw... We've got an invertebrate problem in the U.S.

I don't want one bad seed giving all the monkeys a bad name.

3. I suppose they can't stand the competition... eh?
