Caught monkeys are transported to kennels, where biologists will later decide where to resettle them.
According to the Thai Public Broadcasting Service, in Thailand, the anti-monkey police unit organized a special operation against them in the city of Lopburi, UAINFO.org informs.
Police officers have already managed to capture 23 aggressive macaques that have been terrorizing citizens for several years. In particular, they managed to catch the alpha male of one of the packs, who received the nickname Beard among the residents.
Some monkeys raised a loud cry, calling their relatives for help. They rushed to the cages, trying to free the captured macaques, but the policemen so far manage to repel these attacks.
At the same time, specialists participating in the operation are prohibited from using firearms and even blank cartridges against primates. It is only allowed to fight off insolent macaques with the help of slingshots. Caught monkeys are transported to kennels, where biologists will later decide where to resettle them
As the Daily Mail writes, the macaques in Lopbur are well acquainted with the means of fighting against themselves. They do not eat treats with sleeping pills, and when people in uniform appear, they hide on the roofs of buildings.
Lopburi is a popular tourist destination and the macaques are considered a living attraction of the city. Many local residents feed the primates, but because of this, the latter have become so insolent that they openly pounce on people, take food from them, bite and damage property.
