They're not just local

It seems the primates running our country have some partners in crime. I think I wrote some time back about the crazy baboons in Cape Town. We witnessed one of them stealing a woman's purse off her shoulder, unzipping it and tossing all the contents aside. It eventually found the piece of gum it was looking for and returned the disemboweled purse to the woman. There's a picture of the fiasco HERE.

Well, National Geographic has finally picked up on the story. It seems that these roving gangs of baboons have started to venture into the homes of innocent suburbanites and crap all over their designer furniture. I guess "White Flight" didn't do them much good. The story is smack with irony after visiting the area they are talking about and seeing the opulence that these residents live in, compared with the corrugated tin shacks just on the other side of the mountain. Read the story HERE.
