<\/p>\nOur love for pets usually sticks to cats and dogs. We feel safe around them and we get to love them as our own children.

Monkeys can be extremely cute when they swing from one tree branch to another, but the situation in India is really getting out of control. Recent reports estimate that as many as fifty million monkeys are roaming in this country. As a protected species, the locals can’t do much about this pest. And they’re not harmless either. They steal important things as well as food and they damage buildings and historic monuments. They also bite and people risk getting various diseases. The monkeys are considered sacred by some, which makes it even more difficult for India to find a solution for this unsettling issue.<\/p>\n

Back in 2003 a town in Nevada was infested by Mormon crickets that weren’t shy to take over the roads, the hospital and whole streets. This drove away tourists and many shops were forced to close their doors for days. The authorities bought $50,000 worth of insecticide and managed to kill off the Mormon crickets, helped by the fact that the insects eat their dead fellows. This put an end to the reported 1.6 kilometre long column of crickets that scared the locals to death and made them lock their windows and doors tight.<\/p>\n
