Last year i read an article in GQ magazines about animals are becoming more and more aggressive, and each year there is more and more reported animal attacks on humans. The most famous ones are...
Monkeys in Kenya fight for 2 hours with humans for water:
Kenyan monkeys fight humans for water
Reports from a drought-stricken village in
north-eastern Kenya say that 10 people were hurt
when monkeys attacked them for their drinking
water.
The Kenyan newspaper, the Daily Nation, says the
trouble started in Takaba - a trading centre in
Mandera District - shortly after villagers began
drawing water from three tankers.
A troop of obviously thirsty monkeys approached
the villagers and began biting and clawing at them
and throwing stones.
The villagers fled, leaving the monkeys free to
drink as much water as they wanted.
But the people returned later, armed with axes and
knives and drove them back, killing eight of the
monkeys.
The whole incident took two hours, and an official
is quoted as saying the monkeys stood their
ground and fought back, but eventually retreated.
Residents of the town who were injured were
treated at the local clinic.
Yesterday, aid agencies appealed for help in
dealing with a famine caused by severe drought in
areas across the Horn of Africa, including
north-eastern Kenya.
It has also been reported that, some chimpanzees are making spears our of branches using their teethes to sharpen the spear, and then using the spears to hunt.
The case for this aggressiveness is believed to be the reason of habitat loss.
Another case in India where 3 people were killed.

Monkeys are respected in India as reincarnations of gods, but due to deforestation they move to the cities and attacks people for food.
Food is running out in the forests, and the monkeys walk, run and climb the streets like domestic animals, and have started to search for food in peoples houses. However, the citizens do not give them food often, so the monkeys have started using force, write the media.
Three people have died in India as a consequence of monkey attacks, and there are a great number of people who have been bitten by monkeys.
We sought permission from the authorities to capture two thousand monkeys. We have relocated them to a special, protected zone where they have enough food said one citizen. The Indian media state that this problem is far from being solved, because in Hinduism animals are loved, and monkeys are considered to be a reincarnation of Hanus, the god of wind with a human body and a monkeys head.
The citizens of Agra say that these sort of events are unheard of, whilst ecologists stress that the chaos came expectedly due to the forest areas in India being destroyed, and the monkeys are being left without their natural habitat.In Agra, in the Uttar Pradesh province which is in the north of India, monkeys most often chose passers by as victims, and steal food from their hands and mouth.

. These cases consisted of the dog shooting their owners, with a gun. Most of the attacks were accidents, but these two were defensive.
