Monkeys in India apparently can’t tell a tiger from a dog made to look like a tiger -- or at least that is what one farmer claims.
The farmer, identified as Srikanth Gowda, said he has been able to protect his coffee crop from monkeys by painting his pet dog Bulbul with black stripes, an Indian news outlet reports.

I wonder if the monkeys will figure out it is just a dog.

I looked at the photos. It’s a very good job. I’ll bet it actually works.

If so, the next step is to upgrade his weapon load.

That's a random pic of Dutchie from online, but looks pretty much like mine.
In my life I've had German, Belgian and now a Dutch shepherd. All three are intelligent, but I have to say, the Dutch is by far, the hardest-headed, most stubborn of the lot.

SO, making use of the “stimulus generalization” effect in monkeys works too!

Who knew that monkeys like coffee?There is a brand or type of coffee that comes from Asia, I think, that is made from the beans that are excreted by monkeys after they eat the fruit and can't digest the beans.
I $h!+ you not.

Good thing the farmer didn’t paint him with a blackface. The democrats would have a fit unless the dog was a democrat as well.

Once the monkeys develop ‘resistance’, some will make the fatal mistake of ignoring real tigers.
