The town of Kaida has formed an all-volunteer 'monkey militia' to stop macaques from raiding vegetable fields.
A Japanese farming village has formed a volunteer"monkey militia" to fend of an invasion of vegetable-stealing primates., about 20 farmers and construction workers in Kiso, located in Nagano Prefecture, received instructions on shooting air guns the town purchased to deal with crop-raiding macaques.
Previously, famers would borrow heavy air rifles from town officials to chase the monkeys away from the fields, but they complained it took too long to get them and come back. After some deliberation, the local government came up with the idea of a arming a militia that would be organized via cell phones.
The town spent about $79,760 on air guns and biodegradable pellets for the militia. After they underwent instruction using the weapons effectively, the men were given hats and a certificate from the mayor of Kiso authorizing them to use the guns to fire warning shots at macaques.
