Hundreds of monkeys destroy crops in groups in Sichuan
Recently, Mr. Zhang, a resident of Songping Village on the northwest side of Wangbaoshan, told the media that since the spring of this year, the macaque group in his village has begun to rob villagers' homes frequently, and the number has gradually increased, sometimes even dozens of monkeys can appear in a day. Mr. Zhang said that these macaques are very smart. They not only imitate human language and behavior, but also search for food around the village and destroy villagers' families.
In order to solve this problem, Mr. Zhang and other villagers have tried various methods, including using chili peppers, electric shocks and other items to drive away the macaques, but the effect is not satisfactory. What's more, some villagers were bitten by macaques and suffered heavy losses. In this regard, Mr. Zhang is very helpless, and he hopes that the relevant departments can take measures as soon as possible to protect their homes.
The village committee of Songping Village also took this situation very seriously. It had organized personnel to investigate the macaques and formulated corresponding coping strategies. At the same time, the village committee also hoped to get the support and help of the citizens to solve this problem together.
Regarding this issue, experts say that macaques are wild animals whose range of activities is affected by environmental factors, such as food sources, habitats, etc. Therefore, in order to completely solve the problem of macaque looting, it is necessary to start from multiple aspects, not only to strengthen research on the living habits of macaques, but also to strengthen monitoring and management to prevent them from overbreeding. At the same time, it is also necessary to establish macaque protected areas to provide them with a good living environment to reduce conflicts between them and humans.
