According to Indian media reports, a few days ago, a 2-month-old baby in India was dragged away by a group of monkeys and thrown in a water tank, so that the baby drowned.
It is reported that at that time, the baby and the grandmother slept together, did not think that a group of monkeys came to the house, and dragged the baby away for no reason. When Grandma woke up, she found that she did not see the baby's figure, and she had no choice but to call the police. The police searched for three or four hours before finding the baby's body in the tank.
According to surveillance footage, it was a group of monkeys who dragged the baby away that revealed the truth. When the villagers heard about it, they were all angry and thought that the monkeys should be eliminated. The police also said they would take action. However, the locals did not hold out much hope, because there were many similar incidents in the local area, but in the end they were not resolved.
In fact, as early as December, there was a sensational news in India, that is, the "monkey and dog war". It is reported that a dog bit the small monkey who broke into the house, and as a result, the monkey group learned about it and retaliated against the dogs in the village. They are well-behaved, three or five monkeys against a puppy, in order to kill the puppy, take the dog to a high place, in a "high-altitude projectile" manner to throw the dog to death.
Over the course of a month, the monkeys killed about 250 puppies in quick succession, and the brutality made their scalps tingle. Villagers said the dogs in the village were basically killed, and they informed the forestry department, but the staff only symbolically grabbed the 2 monkeys, did not execute each other, but released them in the uninhabited forest.
It is reported that in order to protect the dogs, the locals drove away the monkeys in the village, and these monkeys could not cause harm to adults, frequently attacked children, and as a result, many children did not dare to go to and from school. On the way, an 8-year-old boy was surrounded by monkeys, but fortunately was found by the villagers in time.
Some people wonder why the Indian government is not carrying out hunting operations against these lawless monkeys.
In fact, in addition to the "sacred cow worship" in India, there are also "sacred monkey worship" in some areas. In Indian legend, "Hanuman" is a very brave monkey, it has rescued thousands of human beings, and Indians worship him. In the eyes of Indians, every monkey is a "Hanuman", so everyone dare not hurt the monkey.
It is this special custom that makes the monkeys in India super high, because the monkeys themselves are very intelligent, knowing that humans are harmless to them, and thus eliminating the fear of humans. With the connivance of the Indians, these monkeys are misbehaving, lawless, and often doing things that hurt nature.
According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 1,000 monkey herds injuring people in India every year, and there are incidents of infant killings from time to time, and in October last year, a 30-year-old man in India was stoned to death by monkey beatings.
These monkeys not only stone people, but even know how to use "tricks". For example, in March 2020, a monkey took the initiative to show kindness to a 2-year-old boy and kissed and hugged him. But when the mother found out that she wanted to save her son, the monkey was very angry and signaled to throw the child to death if she got closer.
Then, in September 2020, a family of 5 in the courtyard to cool off, a group of monkeys found out, collectively pushed the wall, and finally the wall collapsed, the family of 5 people were smashed to death; in December 18, a woman cooking at home, who knew that a group of monkeys broke in, and set fire everywhere, setting the whole house on fire, the woman could not escape, was burned alive by fire.
The above events are enough to reflect the wisdom and strategy of monkeys, and their IQ is no less than that of children in their 10s. And the investigation found that in many cases of monkey injuries, the parties did not provoke monkeys, but the monkeys deliberately hurt people.
For frequent incidents of monkey injuries, primatologist Irene M. R. Vogel said that primates are curious, and once they are integrated into human society, they will show their racial superiority in some ways, thus attacking humans.
At the same time, India's population is as high as 1.3 billion, but the land area is only 1/3 of the mainland, with the increasing number of people, it will inevitably make Indians continue to reclaim forests and wasteland, thus encroaching on the territory of wild animals.
In the eyes of Indian monkeys, populations encroach on their habitats, making the space in which they live narrower and narrower, and they can only move to human villages in order to survive and be a source of food. And those fierce monkeys will also carry out acts of revenge against humans.
It can be seen that rather than being too cruel, Indian monkeys are saying that India's population has expanded dramatically, encroaching on their habitat. As for causing so many "hurtful incidents", it is to blame India's special "sacred monkey worship", which makes the Indian government unwilling to hurt monkeys, allow the monkey group to grow, and is unwilling to hurt each other.
It is the ideological restraint of the monkey group that makes the "man-monkey contradiction" in India aggravate. Even if people are killed, India usually only releases monkeys into the forest. As a result, the monkeys hate humans even more and engage in more frantic acts of revenge.
In order to avoid the intensification of the "human-monkey contradiction", some parts of India will also "neuter" monkeys, but this will also make monkeys more retaliatory. So far, India has not found a solution to the "human-monkey contradiction". It's just that in the case of frequent injuries, Indian government people are reluctant to catch monkeys on a large scale, is this really good?
