In a hair-raising incident of what could be called ‘Lavool Monkey Massacre’, angered over a baby monkey’s killing, monkeys have killed over 250 puppies. The incident was reported from Beed district in Maharashtra. The tribe of enraged monkeys went on to throw dogs from the top of buildings and trees. It should be noted that the cause of the rampage is still conflicted. While some reports are claiming that some dogs killed a baby monkey, other are claiming that puppies went on to do the same. Whatever the reason may be, the death of baby monkey evoked a brutal response from the tribe of monkeys.
