When Cape Town went into lockdowns during the pandemic, people keen to work from home flooded into the picturesque historic town on the edge of False Bay.Baboons wander through the streets of Simonstown foraging for food. While the ABC was in Simonstown, a group of female baboons immediately gathered their babies close as a ranger approached.When he fired in the air, the rest dispersed.
A wildlife vet who has often been called to treat injured animals told the ABC half the animals he has worked on had pellets lodged in their bodies. Baboons have ripped drain pipes from the wall, pulled out cables, damaged his solar water system, and smashed a chimney on his property.He has replaced door handles with knobs so they can't get inside and installed razor wire on his downpipes to keep them off his roof."We are trying to live with them, but it's impossible," he said.Residents taking charge
What we do to animals will one day be done to us, except it won't be paint balls.
Bring the predators back leopards and hyenas will do the job.
the people who shoot the babbons. give the babbons guns
How bad is this lollipop
A bit too extreme to cull those people even though they are being despicable
It’s inhumane to consider culling paintball guns
Yep, people who indulge in animal abuse and cruelty should be culled.
The people or the monkeys?
We shouldn’t limit it to people of Cape Town, all South Africans should be culled… never met a nice one, not bloody surprising man etc and so on
