Nepali villagers plan massive monkey kill
Conservationists from around the world and activists from the Nepal =
Forum of Environmental Journalists have begun a campaign to protect wild =
monkeys that have been raiding crops of a village in the Sindhupalchok =
district, 150 kilometers east of Kathmandu. The villagers of Mankha are =
preparing to kill more than five hundred monkeys in the adjacent forests =
Saturday. Devastating crop-raiding by the monkeys has raised the =
question of survival for the local people as all the farms have been =
swept away by monkey troops since last year. The government of Nepal has =
been on the horns of a dilemma since Wednesday when the news of plans =
for the mass monkey killing broke, followed by pressure from =
conservationists around the globe that have poured in calling for the =
