In a small Indian village, a pack of murderous monkeys have started a war with the local canines.
Around 250 dogs have been dragged to the tops of buildings and trees and dropped by a crew of raging primates that are apparently furious with the pups after they killed one of their babies, local media reported.
Locals in Maharashtra’s Beed district, about 300 miles east of Mumbai, told News 18 the monkeys have been on a quest for revenge and in the nearby Lavool village, not a single dog has survived the purge.
Villagers told the outlet the killings started about a month ago when a few dogs killed an infant monkey and since then, the moment a dog is spotted, simians are apparently snatching up the pups and dragging them somewhere high to drop them to their deaths.
In one image of the animal war, a tiny dog can be seen in the clutches of a primate near the edge of a building.
The villagers decided to take action themselves and tried to wrangle up the beasts, but the simians then turned their sights on the local men, some of whom have been injured after falling from buildings while trying to save the dogs, the outlet said.
Nearly all of the pups in the Beed district have been killed, but the monkeys still haven’t stopped and are now targeting small children en route to school.

The dogs must be small, not Rottweilers.
Sounds like a few US inner city games.
Common lineage, of course....
When I was 16 or so, a friend took me with her family to the zoo in DC.
They had a Silverback gorilla in what I would describe as a glass cubicle.
Its back was to everyone passing by but when I stopped to look at it, it slowly turned and looked me dead in the eyes.
I nearly fainted.
Ironically, Planet of the Apes is like one of my top 10 favorite movies.
I hate monkeys.
To me, monkeys free to roam in India are like coyotes free to roam in suburban southern California - a nuisance to be gotten rid of.
Hahaha I love that scene!

Monkeys are not primates. I guess the Post doesn’t have editors?
BLM monkeys in action?
Just thinking of how much fun you could have in that village in one afternoon with an AR15.
Heck, I consider this is a good reason TO LIKE monkeys.
“Monkeys and apes are both primates, which means they’re both part of the human family tree. ... Almost all monkeys have tails; apes do not.”
Cuts their food supply in half.
Cujo may have something to say about that.
I’m with the dogs here too.
This movie sounds very scary.
Scary, like I bet such a virus is being cooked up right now in a lab in Wuhan level scary.
Pithecophobia
Better have a gun.
