The strange case of 60 monkeys whose carcasses were found dumped and
with their throats slashed has exposed a growing conflict between man
and nature in India.
It was a contract killing. The mystery started when villagers in
Basana, Haryana state, saw two young men drive to a spot near the
village in a blue Jeep and throw out bags. When the villagers,
questioned them, the men fled. In the bags, the villagers found the
bodies of rhesus monkeys. "They were fed poison and their necks were
slashed," a wildlife official said in The Statesman newspaper. "Then
they were squashed into bags and disposed of."
