In the Caribbean islands, interactions between humans and monkeys are sometimes problematic. On the island of Barbados, farmers complain about the monkeys damaging their crops, and many try to find ways to keep them at bay. On Halloween of 2006, a monkey was suspected of causing an island-wide, eight-hour blackout. The monkey apparently climbed a light pole and tripped an 11,000- and 24,000-volt powerline early that morning.

In Africa, many monkeys are killed by powerlines, dogs, vehicles, shooting, poisoning, and hunting, both as a food source and as a source of traditional medicines. Added to this, an increase in desertification, and loss of habitat due to agriculture and urbanisation has occurred. As a result, the population numbers in troops are declining in urban areas to an average of between 15 and 25 individuals, with many troops disappearing altogether.

Will never forget my ol'man and his mission with
these little troopers!! He lived at the coast in
paw- paw colony!!!,..Natal,..

And he was a proud owner of a paw paw tree, me
ol' man was, but when these blighters succumbed
to his pride, he would gently pull and shine a shooting
machine, murmurring some awfull language!!

Bang bang

And the the paw paw tree survived emmediate onslaught!!!

HHahhh , me ol' man was known as "two gun charlie"

Well, taking into account politics an' all, fo' sho, the monkeys
never liked 'im but the public just loved him!! Heh he hi,...

Dear Africa Wild,

Having just been sent the link to this Fred, I'm writing to express my disappointment to the fact that my little cousins were treated in such a disgraceful fashion. After all, they were simply scrumping apples and fruit like all naughty little boys do when young.

Yours thievingly,
