Thai Town Implements Plan to Relocate Aggressive Monkeys

Lopburi authorities use tropical fruit to capture and transfer monkeys causing economic and safety concerns.

Lopburi, Thailand, is overrun by approximately 2,500 wild monkeys, impacting local businesses and residents.
Authorities initiated a five-day operation to trap monkeys using fruit as bait, with early success in capturing around 33.
The monkeys' increasing aggression has led to injuries and economic losses, prompting the need for relocation.
Captured monkeys undergo health checks, sterilization, and are marked for identification before being moved to holding pens.
Some monkeys will remain to maintain the town's tourist appeal, while efforts to find permanent relocation sites continue.
