Yet more strange animal behavior is being reported, this time from India.
In New Delhi, thousands of monkeys have invaded government offices, where they are stealing food, threatening bureaucrats, and destroying valuable documents.

There are at least 10,000 monkeys living nearby and no one seems to be able to keep them out. They’ve barged into the offices of defense, finance and external affairs, and have even paid a visit to the prime minister’s office. "They are moving in very high security areas," said defense ministry officer I.K. Jha.

No one has considered killing them, since they are sacred in the Hindu religion.
how in the hell can they get into "high security areas"?Pretty scary to me,sacred or not i would "Spank those monkeys"!!!!!!!

So what's the big deal? Before I moved to the United States in 1978, I lived in the Washington, DC area. Almost all the government agencies were invaded by monkeys at around 8:00 am, but they all went home by six in the evening.

The main difference was that most of these monkeys had parking places, interns, and sub-monkeys, often referred to as "congressional staffers".
