Farmers in northern India are dressing up in bear costumes to protect their crops from monkeys. The unconventional strategy comes as residents complain of hundreds of monkeys raiding homes and farmlands.
to be fair, if i saw that bear cosplay coming my way, I’d walk the other way, too.
terrifying.
Bear Grillsi suit?
I had fights with monkeys before. They stormed our house several times. They are scary and organised.

They’d come up in large groups of 20-50 monkeys and attack a few houses. They’d surround the house, sit on high ground and start causing chaos by jumping everywhere. Their objective was to be able to enter the houses and grab whatever they could. The strategy was to lock everything down so they could not enter. Regular window glass would not work as they’d smash through that. You needed small enough metal bars. Once everything was locked down, and in the meantime you likely had to throw some of them out of the house, you’d need to go out with a stick and send them away. If you didn’t do that, they’d smash everything you had outside. Being outside with a stick was very very scary. They’d stay away from the stick, but you’d have monkeys jumping everywhere around you and trying to hit you in the back. You’d need a few people to be able to send them away.
That’s what the monkeys were saying.
Or: That time a gullible journalist wandered into the outdoor costume orgy.
No no, the monkeys really hate when you have just your genitals out
The village name, Ber Furrylaya, didn’t raise any questions??
Strawberries are tasty, no denying that. But raw potatoes? What are you hiding, Dharamveer?
you got a of backslashes in that string, causing it to not work.
If you turn off markdown you can see what I’m talking about (and if you plug in some alt text between the brackets, it helps with people who are vision impaired.)
I wonder how much of this is just savvy bear costume sellers being savvy.
That’s interesting as heck.
I feel like Dharamveer should just grow his hair out like that anyway.
LEAVE HIM ALONE DHARAMVEER
North Indian here. This might have been tried somewhere but is not typical. I have not seen or heard before this
