I have to thank Carl for this link. I seriously didn't believe it at first and thought he'd found a spoof site. (He does read The Onion after all...) But no. It turns out that Delhi had a severe monkey problem. Thanks to my sick and twisted sense of humour, I was laughing in disbelief. Especially at this:One approach has been to train bands of larger, more ferocious langur monkeys to go after the smaller groups of Rhesus macaques.
Nice one. Bring in more ferocious monkeys. Good thinking Batman. Not. DOES NOBODY READ SCI-FI ANYMORE?! Or have common sense I guess but disaster scenarios of this caliber tend to come up more in sci-fi than real life.

That's why it's called science fiction, honey. In the real world, biological control agents work great, e.g. the introduction into New Zealand of the stoats that aren't eating the possums that aren't eating the rabbits. Or is it the other way around? In any case, maybe we could train langur monkeys to eat our rabbits?
You're a real ideas man Philip.
