A monkey rescues a puppy and calls it her own

Megi7 — Sun, 24 Jan 2016 22:32:58 +0000

When it comes down to it, true friendship knows no boundaries. At least, that’s the message this monkey and puppy duo are giving to the world.

Earlier this month, a rhesus macaque monkey in Rode, India decided to rescue a puppy and take it in as her own. She even defended the little guy from stray dogs, in quite an aggressive manner.

When feeding the puppy, she even allows it to eat first. It’s basically a match made in wild animal heaven.

The monkey continues to care for the puppy as if she gave birth to him.

The locals were so touched by this act of affection that they began to help them out and leave food for them to eat.

Zee News reported, “People who have seen them spoke of their strong mutual affection and described their bond as the most caring thing in the world- to take care of a puppy in danger and protect him like a parent. Their undying affection gives us a valuable lesson about relationships. “

Sounds like an adorable Disney movie waiting to happen, am I right?

In India, Monkeys Are Taking Over. That’s Why People Are Being Hired To Scare Them.

Megi7 — Mon, 04 Aug 2014 22:20:24 +0000

The city came up with a better idea that doesn’t involve any more animals.

India’s parliament added 40 employees to its payroll last week. That’s good news for the economy and great news for people who would like to make a career out of pretending to be a monkey.

That’s because all of the new hires will be mimicking the sounds of langur monkeys to keep macaque monkeys away from a government complex in Delhi.

Previously, real langurs were used to keep the macaques–who roam freely as strays through Delhi–from the buildings, but that practice was put to an end after being deemed animal cruelty. The men hired to scare the monkeys have undergone training to sound like langurs, but will not be required to wear a costume or anything to make them look like the parliament protectors they’re replacing.

The monkeys are literally everywhere.

So, instead of letting the primates take over…

Macaques have been a problem for the people of Delhi for years now, but because they are considered by Hindus–who make up over 80% of Delhi’s population–to be sacred, killing them is completely out of the question. Other potential solutions to what is commonly referred to as “monkey menace” include shooting at the simians with rubber bullets and putting them on birth control.

In the southern Indian city of Mysore a wild elephant became separated from its herd and ended up roaming the streets for five hours. Unfortunately one man was gored to death and many vehicles chased and attacked during its rampage. Each year hundreds of Indians are killed by wild elephants, due to the constant impingement on their land.
