"Super Monkey" Security Force Used At Commonwealth Games

Posted by samzenpus on from the fight-monkeys-with-monkeys dept.

The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has increased the strength of its monkey security team for the Commonwelath Games. The large langur monkeys are used to scare away smaller, more troublesome primate species from sporting arenas and food stalls. "From tomorrow onwards we will increase the number of langurs from 28 to 38. The additional langurs will take care of the Games venues and other important areas," an NDMC official told the Press Trust of India news agency. Sounds like a good idea until the monkeys learn how to throw barrels.

    come on guys - it starts next week! Think you'll be ready? Don't give me that fucking wobbly head bullshit - I want a straight answer - yes or no? No, I'm not going to bribe you. No, I don't want to hear about 'different standards of health and cleanliness in the west'. You need to provide hotels with the basics like running water, floors and beds free from dog shit etc.
