Hoards Of Monkeys Start Gang-War And Storms Streets In Search For Food
HOARDS OF MONKEYS START GANG-WAR – In Thailand, one of the most popular tourist destinations is Lop Buri, home to thousands of monkeys.
There, tourists often feed the monkeys. However, this caused the monkeys to be heavily reliant on humans for food.
Sadly, due to the coronavirus outbreak, tourists started to disappear from Lop Buri. In turn, the monkey’s food supply was lost causing massive problems in Muang district.
Because of this, hundreds of monkeys from Lop Buri began to traverse territories from the streets to the temples. This was the start of a monkey gang-war.
Temple Monkeys and City Monkeys usually don’t encroach on each other’s territories. However, because of the lack of food, they were forced to do so.
According to an article from Bangkok Post, the Temple monkeys reign over the areas around Phra Prang Sam Yod. Meanwhile, their rivals are based around the municipality.
As per the article, motorists witnessed the leader of the temple gang leading its members into enemy territory. They were looking for food at a market.
However, the rival gang leader defended their territory and fought back the intruders. Afterward, the temple monkeys retreated.
Meanwhile, a woman told Thai Rath online that the temple monkeys did not have enough food. As such, they decided to enter other territories to avoid starving.
Clearly, the sudden drop in tourists affected the lives of hundreds of monkeys that depended on them for food. This is the reason why several wildlife experts disapprove of feeding wild animals.
