Monkeys forced from Indian village
Updated on 09 July 2009
A south India village that worshipped monkeys after their numbers increased to more than half the population are now calling for them to be forced out.
Some of the 800 villagers in Ittagihaal, near Siruguppa, Karnataka, built a temple where they could pray for the 500 primates and perform last rites when they die.
The monkeys even share lunches provided for the local schoolchildren, one villager said.
