Monkeys can sometimes get violent, even creatively so. But this seems like a major sort of escalation:

Enraged monkeys have killed 250 dogs in an Indian district by dragging them to the top of buildings and trees and dropping them.

Panic-stricken residents have also come under attack and say the acts of animal violence have been carried out 'in revenge' after a pack of dogs killed one of the monkeys' infants.

The horrific incidents have been reported in the villages of Majalgaon, where 250 dogs are said to have been killed by rampaging primates, and nearby Lavul in Maharashtra's Beed district.

Villagers have reported that monkeys set upon dogs as soon as they see them before taking them up to a high place - the top of a building or a tree - and dropping them to their death.

And the situation looks like it may be going from bad to awful:

Clearly not content with the extermination of the dogs in the village, monkeys are now said to be going after young children.

School children are reportedly being attacked by the monkeys, creating a further sense of panic among the villagers.

Yeah look, monkeys are great and everything, and people need to control their dogs, but...I mean, it really seems like there's only one reasonable response to this madness:

For real, bring out the big guns. Dogs are bad enough; you gotta draw the line at kids, though.
