I didn't see that this morning. I take it they are doing this because they are hungry? I would die if a baboon was ever in my home.

Wow, that sounds frightening!

I got scared when a raccoon sneaked into my tent while camping and stole all my food, I cannot imagine how these people must feel having baboons do this!

Jf a baboon came in my home they could have it I would be out. I am not into animals. They have their place and I have mine. And that is the way I would like it to stay.

That is very scary indeed. Do you know if they hurt any body or just break in and take food?

I still have not seen anything on this either. I would be curious to know why all of a sudden this happened. Are the baboons not finding food within their habitat?

I don't think they hurt anyone not that I have heard. I think they just went for what food they could find.

I am glad to see that they didn't hurt anyone. They must be having a hard time finding food or they like human food better.

I wonder why they would want the human food as opposed to the food of nature that they are used to. Seems quite odd.
