webfact Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Castration the price monkeys are paying for creating a racket By The Nation Songkhla province has decided to castrate 200 monkeys on Khao Tang Kuan hill due to increasing problems for locals from their mounting population. Hunger is taking the monkeys to the city where they forage for food in dustbins and even attack people. The officials trapped the monkeys by putting food inside cages, then sedated them with tranquilisers and documented them. After the castration, they will be taken care of by vets for one or two days to see whether they suffer any side-effects from the operation before sending them back to the habitats. The project to solve the monkey problems in Songkhla, Surat Thani and Nakhon Si Thammarat province is being conducted from September 7-16. The goal is to castrate 400 monkeys. Until Sunday, 200 monkeys had undergone the operation.

Popular Post Enoon Posted September 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) Monkeys: 1 male (left un-castrated among 399 castrated males) can impregnate 400 un-sterilised females in a year. 1 female (left un-sterilised among 399 sterilised females) will only be pregnant about once every 2 years among 400 un-castrated males. Sterilisation of females is most effective method of population control. Edited September 14, 2020 by Enoon 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo38 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I don't follow the logic. If you lose your monkey hobby (ladies), surely you pursue your secondary interest, food, harder? Only kidding.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post nkg Posted September 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2020 Recent research indicates that mild corporal punishment can play a key role in simian behaviour modification.

Maybe, just maybe, you are slightly confused about the meaning of cull. You are for "culling all" whereas to cull actually means to select or choose someone or something from a group and to control the size of a group of animals by killing only some of the animals.

jvs Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 If i recall correctly there is a budget for this and it is a big budget. But the money is gone and not a lot happened to the monkeys. Where i live they put up the cage one day only,caught a few monkeys,took some pictures and done! Now people are not only feeding soi dogs but monkeys as well,they just don't get it.
