#1 Yeah, I'd like to see this happen. Firs they have to catch 65K of these critters. I wonder how many fingers are going to be bitten off in that little exercise.

Then they have to perform surgery on them? Or is surgery a bit too delicate a term? Regardless, this is going to cost a heap and and take a long, long time. I wonder if the monkeys will breed faster than the vets can sterilize them. Must be muzzie monkeys.

#2 Just shoot the damn monkeys, they're acting like these monkeys are really small people, they're NOT.

#4 Never heard of them, but they're saying the monkeys are "Destroying Crops" so that puts them squarely in the "Vermin" category, (Along with Raccoons, Possums, Deer and Rabbits) and vermin Death is appropriate over human starvation.
