Karkala, Oct 21: In a senseless act witnessed in Baradi Kambala road in Kanthavara, a gang which arrived in a Maruti Omni vehicle sped away after throwing out 15 poisoned monkeys on to the road. The incident happened at around 7.15 pm on Tuesday October 20. Three of the monkeys had died while the others were found writhing in pain in a semi-conscious state.
It is almost clear that the miscreants had poisoned these monkeys purposefully in some plantation belonging to them. The monkeys which were found suffering on the ground after consuming the poison apparently were brought in an Omni car and tossed out of the car at a desolate area on Baradi Kambala road.
Members of Baradi Friends brought this to the notice of forest officials. A forest department team visited the spot and put together relevant information. They took away monkeys found in serious condition in cages.
