In Delhi, India, wild monkeys have taken over regions of the metropolis. Part of the reason why this problem exists is that the city of Delhi has been expanding into what has always been a monkey habitat. As the city grew, some of its Hindu population, who believe monkeys are sacred, began to feed them on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Because of this practice, some monkeys have started to attack humans in the regions, especially those carrying food. These monkeys have even taken up the gangster life by stealing bread and candy. Over the past ten years, Delhi has trapped more than 13,000 monkeys, but there is still no end to the monkey business insight.
