What is the best defense against .....

A few people threatening to sue/charge the owner might make the owner more responsible, animal bites and scratches can give all sorts of nasty diseases, not to mention scars and frighten kids.
Not really the monkeys fault since it shouldn't be in an environment like that in the first place. In a best case scenario perhaps the monkey could be given to a zoo once the owner realises what the monkey could cost in a courtcase. Otherwise I think the cops or animal control should take it.
In an accute situation someone ought to wring the creatures neck, assuming it actually is dangerous, some kids don't understand basic things like a cat might scratch you if you pull it's tail etc, then go crying about the mean cat. If it isn't more aggressive than a normal cat say then I think it should be left alone.

Nutmeg, consumed orally in large amounts and mixed in hot water, is a mild hallucinogenic. (Yes, it is.) I'd be surprised if it were very toxic.

Not that I'm willing to try, though.

oh, lots of things get you "high"... not necessarily safely or pleasantly.

nutmeg is known to be quite a yucky way to get high. nausea, cramps, worse...

"Excessive doses of nutmeg have a narcotic effect; symptoms of delirium and epileptic convulsions appear after 1-6 hours."

Poor beast. I would solve the "irresponsible owner" problem first. Take dogs - an idiot will train him as an agressive bastard, something happens, dog gets it, the idiot just gets another dog.

Thinking about it, the best solution might be to get bigger and meanier monkey. :-) Or a cat - this kitty would be fine for felinotherapy:

Funny indeed. Never the less you are accurate.

Bet a cougar would have a field day with a monkey...like a cat with a mouse.

ps: hehehe...he said Michael Jackson...
 
Michael Jackson would just spank it. I already said that.......
 
I don't know about the law in Montana, but in Oregon, a dog gets one free bite. That is if a dog bites someone, then the owners know of the danger and are required to take appropriate action like keeping it tied up, putting it down, etc.. If it bites someone a second time, the state puts it down.

Problem solved.

Well if they put down the owner, I'd like it more. The dog mostly don't understand. It works in a pack, where the owner plays the alfa-dog (wolf whatever) role. Means he decide where the pack attacks. The dog just acts bodyguard/guided missile.
I know it's very simplified as I write it, but still putting down the dog seems to be as good a solution as destroying a rifle or a pistol of a murderer.
 
Hanuman special. Oh, wait. That might anger Hanuman, he is a monkey god, after all. Maybe just make an offering to Hanuman.
