The monkey situation is still tense in New Delhi. Its all fine and dandy when they pick on the underprivileged. But when they show a total disregard for the law and pick on the lawyers… well then…. this means war:
The court gave city authorities one month to get rid of the monkeys, which have been harassing people at Tis Hazari — the largest law complex in Asia, with 162 courts. The order came after a petitioner complained the monkeys were attacking lawyers and their clients and snatching their food, the BBC reported.
Monkey catchers have been reluctant to sign on for the job because…
a [former] monkey catcher hired by the municipality was mauled during an operation and needed 72 stitches.
Yes what could possibly be added to this story? Perhaps that the expanding human footprint is reducing the natural habitat of the monkey. In effect, we are waging war on them. If their best retaliation is to steal lawyers lunches, then I wholeheartedly support our new monkey overlords.

Indeed we must look to the future just because these monkeys may be evil, it makes little difference in a world of political amorality. What’s more when monkeys are already running the world we should consider the possibility that monkeys that attack lawyers must certainly be more acute than the monkeys that hire them to achieve their profligate goal.
HAIL TO OUR NEW MONKEY KINGS!!
