I’m sorry. I don’t want to report about the monkey menace every day. This is the 2nd posting about monkeys this week alone. I wish they would behave and mind their manners. But things are taking an ugly turn in Kenya.
From the London Daily Telegraph:
Gichuki Kabukuru, a spokesman for Kenya Wildlife Service, said it was well known that monkeys and baboons have a penchant for harassing women rather than men…”
“That is quite true. I will not be able to give you a scientific explanation but it has been observed in the past,” he said. “Even in our camps, when men are out on patrol and the monkeys see women and children, they will become very naughty and make lewd signs at them.” According to locals, the animals have become so aggressive that women have taken to dressing up like men, wearing trousers and long-sleeve shirts.
I think a line is being crossed. What must we do to stop the growing gorilla gropers (I know they’re not gorillas, but I like alliteration!)? Monkeys are literally manhandling innocent women and we do nothing?
This is truly a sad day.
