Actually the problem of monkeys in India and else where is very real. They are considered pests like our pigeons. They are hated. I don't know that the US is involved in doing much about the problem. the monkeys take food from peoples hands, poop everywhere, steal, and are real bothersome, "not cute". I am certain it ties into taking away thier territory and it is way too late to replace it. Worth checking into and I am glad someone reminded me of this awful problem!
