Alcoholic monkey gets life term
The Kanpur zoo in India has a monkey which will remain behind the bars for all its life.
The monkey, named 'Kalua', is a native of Mirzapur district in Uttar Pradesh. He has bitten over 250 persons in Mirzapur, of whom one died.
According to the reports, Kalua was a pet monkey of a local occultist who would regularly give him liquor to drink. Over a period of time, the monkey became alcoholic and when the occultist died, Kalua stopped getting liquor and became aggressive. As he went on a biting spree and created terror, Kalua was caught and brought to the Kanpur zoo.
"There has been no change in his behaviour and he remains as aggressive as he was. It has been three years since he was brought here, but now it has been decided that he will remain in captivity all his life," said the zoo doctor Mohd Nasir.
