I find TTOL to be a great resource for SXM. I find it abhorrent that humans are looking at these primates with opposable thumbs that live in familial groups who are just looking for food as pests that must be EXTERMINATED. It is not their fault they are on SXM competing for food sources. They were brought from Africa. They are old world monkeys. Perhaps the New world humans need to find a way to deal with them short of extermination. Just not right. Get over it. Unless you live there then you don't know what the locals really go through dealing with these pests. I wrote a big long reply about what we are literally dealing with right now in Colombier (where I'm currently visiting my parents who will talk your ear off about the damage these monkeys are doing). But Scuba said it with less words.
