My interpretation is the monkeys got lazy when life was easy. Hard times make hard monkeys. Easy times lazy and slovenly monkeys. They’re much better off without the tourist being lazy & slovenly leaving food scraps out and altering the balance that nature provides.

It's an interesting perspective, it's true that "hard times make hard monkeys", this conditions boosts the adaptability of animals to their surroundings.

My personal response to the COVID hysteria was to ignore it and the restrictions being imposed by our 'superiors.' I did not wear masks, got out more, and refused to get inoculated. I did not 'get' COVID and did not allow myself to be intimidated, either by the preening sociopaths making rules for the stupid masses or by the stupid masses who blindly followed the misguided policies of the fearmongers-in-chief.

It's wonderful to see animals demonstrating their resourcefulness, isn't it?

absolutely, nature is wonderful. Yes sometimes animals can be 'cruel' in our eyes, but in nature I think it is very seldom. The only time I know of, is (house) cats playing with a prey. All the rest is with reason. Animals do not kill others by the thousands for a few square yard of land, or some stinky petrol!

True, some behaviors might seem harsh to us but they often serve a purpose within the natural order. Nature's balance offers inspiring lessons in harmony and coexistence.
