A troop of wild monkeys in India stole a baby from his father and tossed the boy from a third-story rooftop, killing him instantly, according to reports. The infants father, Nirdesh Upadhyay, 25, and his wife were on their rooftop with their 4-month-old son Friday in Bareilly when several monkeys attacked them, DNA India reported Sunday. Upadhyays wife managed to escape the unhinged monkeys, but the troop cornered him. He tried to run off, but dropped his son as he did, leaving one of the animals to scoop up the boy and toss him off the rooftop, the outlet reported. An investigation into the deadly incident is reportedly underway. The boy died instantly, India Times reported. The enraged monkeys also attacked other relatives in addition to the boys father when they responded to the roof, according to the outlet. The dead boy is survived by his parents and one sibling. The family had been prepping for the childs naming ceremony when the fatal attack occurred, reports indicated.

Damn. It is game over for the human race once monkeys learn about guns.

Holy shit. That poor father. RIP baby boy.

Fucking hell, that's horrible.

Will the monkeys go to prison?

I'm sorry but that entire monkey tribe needs to be put down. They are far to be a threat to be let roam and endanger or kill anyone else.

Well, coulda gone without that news today.

Depends. Are the monkeys Republicans?

I read that monkeys were doing this to dogs in retaliation to them being attacked. Were people in this town fucking with the monkeys to the point they wanted revenge?

Monkeys are mean. They don't need a reason and the only thing confirmed about the story you read was that monkeys were killing dogs. No one knows why

Ape shall never kill ape

This is tragic but at the same time I mean, crazy that animals have been swinging into political wages of conflict with humans. Just like that elephant. It'd be so fascinating if it wasn't so tragic.

Why are monkeys so mean?

It was a mostly peaceful protest.

We wont spank the monkey, the monkey will spank us.

Because animals don't recognise their own species, never mind other species -- like humans do.
As Augustin Fuentes, an anthropologist at the University of Notre Dame, states "Helping a stranger [of the same species] is a distinctly human thing. This is something that separates humans from everything else."

I suspect the father accidentally did it and then concocted this slanderous monkey story to try and cover it up.

What a terrifying way to die, that's awful

Yeah those monkeys are probably a threat to other people as well.

It's known that monkeys usually do this two other infant monkeys cause they see them as potential rivals.

Pretty fucked up

That's not even true, though. Most smarter species that have natural predators will be able to recognize those predators, and altruism is dependent on how they organize.

Oh, Chimpanzee that...

You know, I entered this topic thinking "monkey" was some sort of low key racial slur. Then I saw India. Because where the hell else would something like this happen?
