A ‘gang war’ between monkeys and dogs seems to have been taking place at Beed district in Maharashtra.
In what appears to be an act of retaliation and revenge, a pack of murderous monkeys in Beed district of Maharashtra have killed over 250 dogs in the last one month.
This act of revenge by the monkeys came after an infant monkey was killed by dogs earlier this year.
This enmity between dogs and monkeys started at Majalgaon in Beed district of Maharashtra.
Monkeys have been seen reportedly dragging puppies onto rooftops and trees and throwing them down.
