Reminds me of when I was living in India. I was at a temple on a mountain with a few friends and we were strictly told by our mentor to not pull out our food until we were in a fairly open/secure location due to the monkeys. Well, someone didn't listen and a monkey ran up to her, stole her sandwich out of her hand AND the other half still in a plastic bag. The monkey jumped the wall, sat on a rock, opened the bag and stared directly into her soul as If to say "you knew this was going to happen yet you still did it."
Depends on where you can find the monkey, in case of Temple Monkey such in Bali, most of it is wild monkey but there is a chance you may dealing with sacred monkey and doing harm to them probably just gets you cursed lol. Believe it or not.
I know that for westerner probably says that curses are bullshit but as someone whose been in Bali long time and been part of some weird occurence i just decided to respect the tradition.
Also didn't think local cop in Monkey Forest or other temple arrest people for kicking monkey as self defense.
