If you live in the small village of Nachu in Kenya, watch out, because a group of approximately 300 marauding monkeys is out to steal your food, sexually harass your women and attack and kill your livestock! In a truly amazing incidence of interspecies communication, a group of vervet monkeys, Chlorocebus pygerythrus, is using sexual harassment to intimidate women and children, who are responsible for growing maize, potatoes, beans and other crops for their farming community, causing them to lose their main food supply so they now are dependent upon famine relief to survive.
The monkeys are more afraid of young men than women and children, with the bolder individuals throwing stones and chasing the women from their farms. In an attempt to scare the monkeys away, the women are now wearing their husband's clothing, but the wily monkeys are not fooled.
"When we come to chase the monkeys away, we are dressed in trousers and hats, so that we look like men," said Nachu resident Lucy Njeri. "But the monkeys can tell the difference and they don't run away from us and point at our breasts. They just ignore us and continue to steal the crops."
Further, the monkeys also make sexually explicit gestures at the women, according to the residents.
"The monkeys grab their breasts, and gesture at us while pointing at their private parts. We are afraid that they will sexually harass us," said Njeri.
While it was not unusual for the monkeys to harass the women and be less afraid of them than they are of the men, according to the Kenyan Wildlife Service, the service had never before heard of monkeys making sexually explicit gestures as a form of communication to humans. Yet, despite their new problems with the monkeys, it is a criminal offence to harm or kill any of them, so the besieged villagers must instead figure out a way to outwit the monkeys without harming them.
Unfortunately, the monkeys have even been killing the residents' livestock and dogs, evading traps and avoiding poisoned food. The residents are now harvesting their crops early in an attempt to salvage what they can, however, the monkeys are now breaking in to the residents' houses to steal their food. The residents even formed a "monkey squad" that consists of men who track the monkeys' movements, but there simply are not enough people available to do the job adequately. Further, the monkeys have their own sentinals that keep watch on the residents, giving warning when they are approaching so the monkeys can escape.
I wonder why this is occurring all of a sudden? I'd guess this is the result of human encroachment into the monkeys' former territory or perhaps a local food shortage, perhaps caused by the residents. And the "sexually explicit gestures" seem to be a spin-off of what the monkeys normally use to form their own social structure, or perhaps this behavior was learned by watching their human neighbors. Also, didn't HIV originate in the green monkey, Chlorocebus sabaeus, which is a close relative of the vervet monkey? It kind of makes you wonder what might happen to the people if enough of them are bitten or .. otherwise abused .. by these monkeys?

There is an old saying that is perfectly applicable here. "Monkey see, monkey do." These are certainly only vicious creatures if you also consider humans to be vicious. This is probably learned behaviour. Someone needs to set up a local training facility for these monkeys, teach them proper behaviour in relationship to the human community. This can be done, obviously they are conscious and can learn. The problem is the lack of local control in the village, and also the desire to kill what you do not understand.
Posted by: Carl S. | August 25, 2007 5:11 AM
Its an interesting fact that various species are getting bolder with humans. I suspect this is because of legislation which has been brought in to protect the animals, and the animals now realise they no longer have reason to fear man.
The vervet monkey is one case in point, I am sure they are very enterprising in their means. I am also sure that they are just as capable of opportunism as their human cousins are, so talk of people encroaching on their habitats is a little bit premature.
Another example is the growing agressiveness of seabirds (particularly gulls) in scenes eerily reminiscent of Hitchcock's "The Birds".
And just ask a Berliner what they think of wild boars when they are attacked on the outskirts of the city by an unruly horde of them just to get at a Big Mac.
Modern culture and legislation has brought this on.
The animal that fears no man.

> "The monkeys grab their breasts, and gesture at us while pointing at their private parts. We are afraid that they will sexually harass us," said Njeri.
"Sexual harassment" seems to me a bit of a stretch here, though. It could be the monkeys are just pointing out that they recognised the individuals as females, without conveying any other goals or desires.
(And it's pretty damn amazing if they are communicating "hey you aren't males, you didn't fool us!" -- not just the inter-species gesture-language communication, but the level of sophistication behind that thinking already -- the concept of deception!)
(And I'm intentionally distinguishing between symbolic sign-language and indexical gesture-language.)

"why dont they just get guns and shoot them while they are stealing their crops?"
A few times of doing that then they'll get the message. Either that or have the women carry around bats or sticks or whatever and when the monkeys get too close just go bezerk on them.
"There is an old saying that is perfectly applicable here. "Monkey see, monkey do." These are certainly only vicious creatures if you also consider humans to be vicious. This is probably learned behaviour."
The monkeys try different things till they find something that works. They figured it out themselves. They are smart things. Problem solvers. Trial and Error.
Sooo... what you do is make it so that this behavior is non-rewarding. It's not difficult. Why do you think that humans are naturally agressive and learned to use weapons in the first place? (hint: it has to do with protecting food supplies) Within a week they'd learn their place. Doesn't mean that I/you/them hate them or are afraid of them or like hurting things or anything retarded like that. It's just how it works.
Establishing schools for monkeys is a silly idea. They are wild animals and are dangerous.
If you want trained monkeys you would have to kill or drive off the wild monkeys, breed out the agressive traits, and create domesticated monkeys and then repopulate with domesticated monkeys. It wouldn't take more then 10-15 generations before their agressive nature is mostly gone.
How do you think we have dogs? (hint: they didn't evolve along side humans over thousands of years.. we created them in about 2-3 human generations of selective breeding)
Of course you don't want this, (and neither do I) but you don't realise this is exactly what your advocating. Spend some time with animals outside of a zoo and you'll quickly understand what I am talking about.

Part of the problem with guns is that bullets are expensive, and probably the only thing available are things like AK-47s. Kind of overkill. .22 rat rifles would be great but they likely still cant afford them.
My thought is get some goggles, some good super soaker squirt guns, and grow some scotch bonnet peppers.
The monkeys won't touch the peppers because they're hot as hell. so you chop em up and mix them in with squirt gun water. Poor mans pepper spray.

Not to nitpick, but the sooty mangabey (Cercocebus atys) is a different species altogether from the green monkey (Chlorocebus sabaeus). Chlorocebus aethiops has recently been split into various closely related species; the familiar vervet monkey is now known as Chlorocebus pygerythrus.

Dear Sir/Ma'am,
I am Mr.Cerco Aethiops. an Auditor of a BANK OF THE NORTH
INTERNATIONAL,Nachu. I have the courage to Crave indulgence for
this important business
believing that you will never let me down
either now or in the future. Some
years ago, an American Mining
consultant/ contractor with the Kenya National
Petroleum Corporation,
made a numbered time (fixed)deposit for twelve calendar
months, valued
$12M.BAN (TWELVE MILLION US Bananas) in an account. On maturity,
The
bank sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no
reply.
After a month, The bank sent another reminder and finally his
contract
employers, the Kenya National Petroleum Corporation wrote
to inform the bank
that he died without MAKING A WILL, and all attempts
by the American Embassy to
trace his next of kin was fruitless. I
therefore, made further investigation and
discovered that the
beneficiary was an immigrant from Jamaica and only recently
obtained
American citizenship. He did not decla re any kin or relations in all
his official documents, including his Bank deposit paper work. This
money total
amount$12M.BAN ( TWELVE MILLION BANANAS)is still sitting
in my bank as
dormant Account. No one will ever come forward to claim
it, and according to
Kenya Banking policy, after some years, the
money will revert to the
ownership of the Kenyan Government if the
account owner is certified dead. This
is the situation, and my proposal
is that I am looking for a foreigner who will
stand in as the next of
kin to beneficiary, and OPEN a Bank Account abroad to
facilitate the
transfer of this money. This is simple, all you have to do is to
OPEN
an account anywhere in the world and send me its detail for me to
arrange
the proper money transfer paperwork, and facilitate the
transfer.
Yours,
Mr. Cerco Aethiops

No good solution. I'd suggest relocating the monkeys, but one would have to capture ALL the monkeys and that seems unlikely. Next bet would be lift the ban on harming the monkeys. Harm 'em and harm 'em like you mean it!
Of course, we couldn't just relocate the humans, could we? No... I thought not.
Sexual abuse/harrasment? Sexual abuse/harrassment is in the eye of the beholder when it comes to interspecies relationships. Oh come on! They're MONKEYS! They know nothing of human sexual mores.

Having read this story its the biggest heap of BS.
I have lived with vervets all my life, rescued injured monkeys, handraised orphaned baby vervets. Yes they will steal crops or should they see food through an open window or doorway they will go in and take it. As for the " sexually explicit gestures at the women" monkeys will sit and scratch their testicles or dig around their pubic area if they have an itch. That is not a sexual gesture. So every human male that adjusts himself as I see many men doing that must now be construed as a sexual gesture???
This whole article is ludicrous.

Take about 2 dozen bottles with narrow necks big enough for the monkey to get its paw in. Put food in the bottom of the bottles. Those that take the bait won't let go of the bait and have a hand trapped in the bottle.
Depending on preference, fix the bottle to something the monkey can't gnaw through or just let it go with a bottle on its hand. I wonder whether the monkeys would turn on their own if it had a defect, like a hand in a bottle.
I agree with the pepper pellet idea. I would use a catapult to deliver a pellet to the eyes from a few metres away.
Presumably, the vervet's natural predators were chased away to protect livestock. If so, the villagers' problem is one of their own making.
Posted by: RogerP | August 26, 2007 9:45 AM
Actually, it's not illegal to kill this monkey. It's done in S. Africa all the time -- they're a common pest.
The reason they're pointing to their genitals might have something to do with social ranking. Male vervet monkeys have blue scrotums. As the male rises/falls in social rank, the scrotum turns more or less blue.

Crosman has cheap underpowered BB guns which sell online for $45 and uses inexpensive BBs. The CO2 cartridges can be bought in quantity for about $.50 a piece and one cartridge could deter lots of monkeys for a full day at least.
http://www.airgunwarehouseinc.com/crc11co2pobb.html
What's more since they're not that powerful they probably won't kill the monkey unless one of the women lucks off a head shot.
Most importantly they're not powerful enough to kill or seriously wound people without an eyeshot so I wouldn't see a woman shooting at a monkey missing and taking out the woman next to her by mistake. A cheap laser site can be added for about $50. After a while you wouldn't need the CO2 or BBs very much just the sight of the pistol or red dot from the laser would disuede the monkeys.
These companies used to make single shot pump version of these pistols that don't require the CO2 but they realized they were making more off the CO2 than the guns so they discontinued these models.

Ok! i am quite convinced by the post here! Now maybe its not a 100% sexual harrassment but the truth is that people are facing a v. embarassing and harmful type of violence here!! And i agree with Dylan, it is not a situation where we would want to see monkeys get used to violent action for the result can only be a more suprising form of a defence act becuase the truth is that they are trying to survuive here.
The most interesting point of the conversation was when we were talking about gunning these monkeys down in a specially constructed rehabilitation farm for them!
In the last analysis, it does seem like monkeys are irritated because of the encroachment of their space by humans.
So the best alternative action would be to demand some land/houses from the poeple responsible for the farm or the govt.!
Althoug i can also see why that would be an unwanted course of action!! SO basically the situation is v. desperate and our 100 or so yrs old instituion just fail whe it comes down to saving lives!!!!!!

I'm also skeptical of the "sexually explicit gestures" part; seems more like something the humans are filling in. OTT aggression once they figure out that the women and kids won't hurt them, though, well -- that falls well within the documented range of primate behavior.
I like that chili pepper idea. GREAT idea.
It also strikes me (pun not entirely inteded) that there is an awful lot of physical aggression available short of shooting the furry little bastards. The women and kids carrying big sticks and giving them a good whack whenever they cross paths should not be a problem. I wonder if this is prohibited by a general culture thing which teaches that women should never/could never be physically violent and use weapons to defend themselves against aggression, something I've run across before, much to my dismay.
A step further than the "give them a good whack" thing might be, whenever the monkey troop comes into view, have a quick-forming posse that rallies immediately and chases them as far as possible, in a concerted manner, and beats the heck out of anything they catch. Monkeys will learn, one hopes.

The super soaker/pepper juice requires close proximity and having both the shooter and target in the same place at the same time - meaning 7x24 guards covering a *lot* of territory.
Spray the veggies with hot pepper juice. I suggest habanero. Monkey lips will be *not* happy with it and I'm fairly certain it could be rinsed off with the dirt to an acceptable level of human tolerance ("eat spicy or don't eat?").
Also, it would probably help if the villagers planted "bait" near their crop that would make the monkey happier than eating the more important crops.
Posted by: Ken | August 27, 2007 10:05 AM
1) The "sexual harassment" business could be a misinterpretation of dominance gestures, or the monkeys could have learned that certain behaviors will chase away the women.
2) In any case, they have certainly learned that the humans, or at least the women, aren't going to fight back. This needs to change. They should definitely be throwing rocks, if not taking a cane or whip to the offending monkeys.
3) I also agree there's probably a general shortage of food in the vicinity. This means the villagers are probably going to have to guard their crops for the forseeable future. If they can't manage that, then living in the area may be unsustainable -- unless they can get license to take harsher steps against the monkeys. (While I do have some sympathies for the cute 'lil monkeys, I have to stand with my own species!)
