Monkey Chasers

13 Oct 2010 - A few days ago (see 3 Oct 2010) I shared how monkeys assisted the Delhi police in helping chasing thieving monkeys away. Maybe this is something for Taiwan. A Government-sponsored programme to boost employment has been set up and 'monkey chasers' are now being recruited. The programme is set up in Kaohsiung city in southern Taiwan, and a salary of NT 17,600 (HKD 4,420) a month is offered for staff charged keeping the primates from developing too disturbing behavioral patterns. "The monkey chasers will tell people not to feed wild monkeys, as that will lead them to develop abnormal behavior such as grabbing people's food or invading homes. Maybe this is also something for Hong Kong's Tsuen Wan Country Park?
