The monkeys are causing a very serious problem in Delhi.
. . . Along with an estimated 35,000 sacred cows and buffaloes that roam free in the capital, marauding monkeys have been longstanding pests. . . Estimates of Delhi's monkey population range from 10,000 to over 20,000.
. . . Efforts to drive out the animals is complicated by the fact that devout Hindus view them as an incarnation of Hanuman, the monkey god who symbolises strength. Killing them is unacceptable.
