Lopburi Authorities Clamp Down, Sterilize Unruly Monkeys
Nov 14, 2024, 04:35 AM
In the historic Thai city of Lopburi, authorities have taken significant measures to address the growing problem of marauding monkeys. The city, known for its large population of macaques, has seen these primates become increasingly unruly over the past four years, causing distress among residents and visitors. In response, the authorities have rounded up and sterilized the monkeys to control their population. This intervention aims to restore order in the city, which has long relied on the macaques to attract tourists but found their behavior had become problematic. The clampdown marks an end to the 'monkey mania' that had taken over Lopburi, the self-proclaimed 'Monkey City'.
