Indian monkeys kill and rob people, no evil, why does the government dare not kill monkeys? Is there really no way for people to get along with monkeys? What kind of wisdom does the monkey play that has been passed down in our country for thousands of years contain?

In a village in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India, at night, a mother was nursing her half-moon son in her house when a monkey suddenly came out from behind her, grabbed the child by the neck and snatched the baby. Neighbors heard the mother's screams and rushed to chase the kidnapper. The monkey bit the baby's head and ran all the way to the roof of the neighbor's house, but when it let go and fled, the baby's head had been bitten by the monkey and the flesh was blurred, and finally died after rescue.
Such horrific tragedies are not uncommon in India. A mystic in Mirzapur, India, raised a monkey named Kalua. For unknown reasons, he gave the monkey a long time to drink spirits and let him eat monkey meat. After the death of Its owner, no one gave it drinking and eating meat, and it became irritable and irritable like an alcoholic who couldn't find it, running amok in the streets and biting indiscriminately, injuring 250 people. Dozens of young children, their faces chewed and disfigured, many required plastic surgery, and one of them died of a serious injury.
Monkeys almost staged a realistic version of the rise of the ape ball in India. According to statistics, there are 300,000 monkeys living in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh alone, causing thousands of injuries every day. These monkeys roam the city at will, sharing air, food and water with humans, and living more freely than humans. Destroy crops, bite off power lines, kill and rob people, they do almost nothing wrong.
A large number of monkeys dominate India, it is reasonable to say that it is not difficult for humans to eliminate monkeys, why would Indians allow these "little bastards" to endanger society? In fact, in order to alleviate the harm of monkeys to society, the Indian government has also carried out some remediation activities. For example, New Delhi, the capital of India, once thought of a "two-pronged strategy" that would not harm the monkey herd but also maintain social stability. The government first recruited 40 young security guards and asked them to smear their faces and bodies with paint, put on special hoods, and pretend to be langurs, the natural enemies of macaques. Then let them go to the place where the monkeys are dense, learn the monkey barking while running, and drive the monkeys back into the woods. However, this method does not cure the symptoms, and monkeys continue to hurt and kill people.

< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > wild monkeys have a large background</h1>
Why did the Indian government use guns to eliminate monkey herds, but instead adopt this ineffective method? Because these wild monkeys actually have a big background, Indian law stipulates that killing monkeys is illegal. Religion protects monkeys even more than the law. In Hindu mythology, there is a monkey god named Hanuman, who can change thirty-six ways and can fly over the sea. The point is that he helped the Indian king Rama defeat the demons, and the king promised: "As long as there are people in the world who remember the legend of Rama, Hanuman will live forever." And as long as people pay tribute to Hanuman, Rama will fulfill his wishes. ”

What do you think of when you hear this? Yes, the image of the Indian monkey god and the Chinese Sun Wukong are simply carved out of a mold. However, Hanuman's status in the hearts of Indians is much higher than that of Sun Wukong in the hearts of Chinese. Until now, there are many places in India and Thailand that celebrate Monkey Festival every year. To what extent are monkeys in the hearts of Indians? India has made a film dedicated to satirizing this social phenomenon, called "Whoops", in which an employee who drives monkeys is killed by a local gang that believes in the monkey god because he kills a monkey by mistake.
I have to say that India is really strange, and it is absurd to adopt the principle of equality of all sentient beings for animals, but divide people into three, six, nine, and so on.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Chinese monkey show</h1>
Compared with India's blind practice of treating monkeys as gods, China began to domesticate monkeys through more human methods as early as the Tang Dynasty. In the 1950s, the villagers of Xinye, Henan Province, because they did not have enough to eat, because they did not have enough to eat, when they were idle, they began to pick up ancestral skills and play monkey plays in the streets and alleys across the country. Monkey show artists and domesticated monkeys punched and slapped each other and played with each other, making the audience laugh and make a meager income. I don't know how many viewers have watched the monkey show and how much they know about this industry?
Monkey play
If you have seen domesticated monkeys and wild monkeys in scenic spots at the same time, you must be very curious, why do wild monkeys, the more they feed it, the more arrogant and bold, while the monkeys of monkey entertainers are more and more well-behaved? This is because monkeys are not the same as cats and dogs, which are very vengeful, bullying, hard and snobbish animals.
I once talked to a monkey trickster who said that cats and dogs are more like the IQ of 2-year-old children, give them food, and it is easy to rely on you. Instead, subdue the monkeys with a whip, allowing them to perform, and the monkeys begin to depend on you. But the monkey is cunning, and when he finds the monkey keeper, he will pretend; if he is not there, the monkey will start bullying others.
Scientifically, adult monkeys have a more intelligent level than boys aged 7 to 9. There is a proverb in the north, "Seven eight nine, suspected of a dead dog", which means that boys of this age even hate dogs. Boys at this time are more likely to bully their classmates, steal things, and lie, so it is the age that requires strict education. Monkeys are the same, they have a lot of bad human behavior.
In fact, the monkeys in many tourist attractions in our country are also like this, they are fed by humans without fear, like a small hooligan who has just emerged from society, has not been beaten by society, so they will start to bully people. This is a true response to the old saying, "There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings."
However, even with such a bad nature of monkeys, monkey players will still discipline them as if they were their own children. As the saying goes, "Filial piety comes out of the stick", which is the most important experience of monkey keepers to domesticate monkeys. Of course, blindly scolding is not the best educational method, and many artists will also be distressed. Therefore, they often eat and live with the monkeys and cultivate feelings.

50-year-old Yang Lingui has been walking in the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, "winter to the south, summer to the north", they go to all parts of the country to perform monkey plays just to support their families. In June, when the days in Henan were just getting hot, Lao Yang and fellow artists knelt down to worship the Monkey King Temple and carried the train to the northeast to perform together (because monkeys could not be brought on the train). They hid in the open carriages, people and monkeys snuggled up to each other, and the wind and rain fell all over their heads.
Lao Yang said: "There are always people who say that we abuse animals, in fact, they are taken out of context, they are like our own children, who is willing to break them?" "The monkey whip cracks, and the artist knows in his heart that the whip is just a deterrent and will never really fall on the monkey." Lao Yang hurt the monkeys very much, and every day in the summer, he would drive the monkeys to the river to bathe.
Once, the old monkey was sick and lying on the ground, and two small monkeys picked it up and cried out to Old Yang for help, but Old Yang could do nothing but watch the old monkey die. He silently wrapped the old monkey in his own sweater, put it into a woven bag, and went out alone to bury the old monkey. Now, Lao Yang no longer goes out to perform monkey plays, but there is a small monkey next to him. When he is bored, Lao Yang will play with monkeys, and sometimes, he will remember the time when he traveled south and north many years ago.

Today's monkey show is an unpopular, low-income industry, and it is easy to suffer a lot of accusations and blank eyes. There is no government support on the top, no audience to pay the bill, just to get a transport permit for the monkey must pass five levels and cut six generals. As a result, many young people have chosen other industries. For this situation, the older generation of monkey players also feel very helpless while expressing understanding. Although Henan Province has listed monkey plays as an intangible cultural heritage, the number of artists who can play monkeys has now changed from tens of thousands of people a few decades ago to less than a thousand.
Ma Hongjie said in the book "The Last Monkey Trickster"
"China is a country with a vast territory, and the differences between rich and poor in the region are still very large, and each of us cannot understand the way of life of people in another region based on the way of life of the region where we live. A lot of their way of life is something we don't see. In a poor place, it is not easy for a person to find a way to survive without violating the law and ethics, to be able to support himself..."
Do you think monkey shows still need to exist in modern society? Feel free to leave a message in the comments section.
