Video: Marauding monkeys terrorize Karuizawa
September 24th, 2008 by James
Tokyo residents might be enjoying the idea of a lone monkey wandering their city, but for people out in Karuizawa, marauding monkeys are a serious problem. Here’s a clip from a news report that aired yesterday about gangs of monkeys destroying crops, damaging trees, and generally annoying humans:
The report mentioned that BB guns were being used to scare away monkeys, but a few old men with BB guns doesn’t make much of a lasting impact [see this classic 2006 Japan Probe post for video of them in action]. Perhaps Karuizawa should focus more on the use monkey-chasing dogs?

I swear I saw a periscope in that video clip – perhaps they should get the Navy on their problem ASAP.
Kidding aside, no one has even a small caliber rifle there? The problem is over-population caused by easy access to food. Cull the herd and the problem is solved.
solved for the time being… then, the culled herd will simply enjoy more available food, increase in numbers and the problem will return.
it a funny movie
