From the story linked in the article:
Salem Al-Barakati said that the main reason that the baboons are difficult to stymie is because of their high intelligence. They easily match wits with those out to drive them away.

But the baboons in that parking lot were land animals like we are, and they clearly felt only contempt for their squishy, soft, clawless and short toothed cousins. You could see it in their hard and glittering eyes.

Well, that's what we are. Without weapons, we are particularly helpless prey animals -- unable to fight, and unable to run.

The big predators, and pack predators, only started to fear people when people started being able to kill them on sight, and from a distance. When this stopped, we reverted to being prey.

Baboons Declare War On Humans in Saudi Arabia

I thought every cleric in the country had issued fatwas on humans long ago? Is this another round?

Let's see, who to root for?

This is one of those conundrums , I think.

“They look for car doors that aren’t locked, windows that are left opened, absent-minded tourists carrying food. If they see an opportunity they move in swiftly and relentlessly, stripping pedestrians of their bags, ripping up car seats in their quest for food, and generally acting like the lords of the earth.”

Sounds like downtown Peoria after dark.

I pictured this to be about sons of pig f’n dog muslims declaring war on civilized humanity. Wait!!!! They already did that, centuries ago.

Seem that even baboons can sort out and single out the fanatic murdering dogs from other humans.

Hmmm baboons versus humans.... in Saudi Arabia, that’s likely an even match.
