Sounds like a scene in the Hunger Games series while they were in the arena.

In the film Time After Time (1978) loosely based on H G Wells, the time traveler sees a modern day coin newspaper rack and the headline Rams Maul Bears or something for a football game mystifies him. Funny. Our real life has become worse.
Years ago, a lady named Charla Nash was attacked by a friend’s chimpanzee. At the time, I was acquaintances with her brother. I had seen the news feed and contacted him, immediately. He tied me in to the daily email to friends and family, per what happened and Charla’s progress. It was all horrifying. Charla lost her eyes and fingers to that effing monster. Now, after this story, I’m all in on monkey hunting.
“...a pack of murderous monkeys have started a war with the local canines.”
“...are apparently furious with the pups after they killed one of their babies,”
Sounds like the “pups” started it.
You are reading about a small scale reenactment of how, over a long period, early hominids created a “hominid safe space” for themselves and their children. They did that by creating an exclusion zone that only permitted dangerous creatures they could contain or, at minimum, control/manage the threat. For example, bears are managed in rural housing settings but are captured/relocated and/or killed in denser suburban or urban settings. The higher the probability of an uncontrolled interaction, the greater the likelihood of forceful and, usually, fatal removal.
As long as they were just a cute nuisance, monkeys are tolerated by the villagers. But dogs are way more useful than monkeys, so killing the dogs off decreases the monkey’s cuteness toleration factor to near zero. The monkeys are incapable of realizing that their vengeance without apparent limit against the dogs and now threatening young children will result in their own extermination.
Smart but not smart enough.
Maybe the p*ssy GOP can hire the monkey leaders so they can learn to go medieval on the Dems like they should.
LOL!
One of my favorite shows growing up was Lancelot Link. I loved it when the Evolution Revolution came on. Great stuff.
The only thing worse than monkeys are clown monkeys. Fortunately they don’t exist.
Hubby alerted me to this story just this morning. I know, late reply.
But, this should be a lesson for all the lib commie fools who think it’s abnormal to react to “others”.
I know, this is different species, but notice how the monkeys DO know what type of beast hurt something of theirs. Is it unfair to go out and assault every one of those “others”? Sure. Is it wrong for them to start recognizing an “other” wronged them”? No. It’s natural.
