157 macaques being neutered to control population

 

 

KRABI, 27th July 2018 (NNT) - Krabi officials have neutered 157 macaques in Hat Noppharat Thara–Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park as part of its operation to control the macaque population.

Officials and veterinarians from the provincial offices of the Livestock Department and the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment have sterilized 157 macaques in an attempt to keep their population under control. 

There are as many as 1,000 monkeys living near tourist sites. 

The animals have reportedly caused trouble, wounded many tourists, and stolen tourists' food and belongings. 

All the neutered monkeys will be released in a 3,000-rai mangrove forest in Ko Lanta district and away from tourists. Local authorities are still looking for ways to deal with the remaining 800 macaques at Wat Tham Sua Wipassana Temple.

Too little Too late. 

They are an <deleted> meance and should be removed permanently (culled).

Aggressive and nasty little creatures when made angry or scared.
