We were harrassed by similar monkeys in Nikko. It was actually really scary. They are fast and vicious little f*ckers.

My friend’s parents are farmers in Fukushima and they have the same problem. Apparently the monkeys are getting cleverer, they don’t eat the crops on the spot but drag them off into the forest thus destroying an entire harvest for their victims.

Really when you wrote terror, have you asked yourself who feeds these animals.
I see the entire town profiting from tourism generated BY THESE ANIMALS ALONE, and when the animals are hungry and take the food ( bears do that and more in US and Canada since forever ), it is pretty obvious they are hungry and not fed, or do not have anything to eat.

And then the funny storekeepers shoot them with air guns.

So the tourist profits they like, dozen of bananas they can’t spare, real nice, what is there left to be said.

Awr, they’re so cool! I can see how they attract so many tourists. -^_^-

The food stealing seagull has a tough competitor!

Who?
The monkeys already brought tourists to help the towns economy, the least they can take for their effort for entertaining the tourists is food.

Right, or not?

“Residents of the town frustrate the thieving monkeys, but most monkeys shrug off on their actions”.

News at 11.

This is great.
