Re: Vervet - Animal of the Month April 2013 (as by H.Erectus
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.

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,
