This is how it begins.
While you humans were all concerned with the world becoming 1984, Brave New World, or The Terminator, that you didn't even see Planet Of The Apes sneaking up from behind.
I, Harambe, am witness to this moment.
From ABC News:
People in a southwestern Japanese city have come under attack from monkeys that are trying to snatch babies, biting and clawing at flesh, and sneaking into nursery schools.
The attacks — on 58 people since July 8 — are getting so bad Yamaguchi city hall hired a special unit to hunt the animals with tranquilizer guns.
The monkeys aren't interested in food, so traps haven't worked. They have targeted mostly children and the elderly.
The monkeys aren't after food. They're simply interested in terrorizing the people of this town.
They have attacked 58 people!
"They are so smart, and they tend to sneak up and attack from behind, often grabbing at your legs," city official Masato Saito said Wednesday.
When confronted by a monkey, the instructions are: Do not look them in the eye, make yourself look as big as possible, such as by spreading open your coat, then back away as quietly as possible without making sudden moves, according to Saito.
A woman was assaulted by a monkey while hanging laundry on her veranda. Another victim showed bandaged toes. They were taken aback and frightened by how big and fat the monkeys were.
If these primates start to realize that they can run people off, these Japanese people might be in for a long battle against the monkeys.
No one seems to know why the attacks have occurred, and where exactly the troop of monkeys came from remains unclear.
"I have never seen anything like this my entire life," Saito said.
Get ready, humans.
The revolution is here.
