On a recent Sunday morning monkey shooting was indulged in at Rotorua, and the fact that it was deemed necessary should aA as a warning to those who have such animals as pets or in captivity. No doubt many visitors to Rotorua will remember the big pair of monkeys in one ot the cages. On Friday an attendant entered the cage to clean it out, when he was savagely attacked by the male monkey, and could not be rescued until the animal was killed. The attendant was very badly bitten, meanwhile the female monkey escaped from the cage, and was at large until Sunday morning, when two attendants, who had been hunting for her, succeeded iu shooting the fugitive.
