Yesterday's story on the Delhi monkey's has opened the worlds eyes to the plight of these forgotten animals. Today however, we look at the other side of the coin as we talk to a local monkey-catcher about his career.
"I have been catching monkeys here in Delhi since I was 5 years old" announced Ayanjit Vajpayee who is now 65. "In the past, most of the monkeys showed respect to their human neighbours, opening doors, helping old ladies across the road, stuff like that. Nowadays though, most of them are out of control". Mr Vajpayee claims that he can capture upto 15 monkeys in anyone day earning around £2 per monkey.
Mr Vajpayee also has a close relationship with one of his captured monkey's although he would not disclose exactly how close.
