At least eight Rhesus monkeys (Macara Mulatta), an endangered species, were found living at the Linh \u1ee8ng Pagoda with serious injuries or missing limbs. A local freelance photographer said he spent two months to collect photos of the injured monkeys in the S\u01a1n Tr\u00e0 Nature Reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photographer Nguy\u1ec5n C\u00f4ng H\u01b0ng, a member of \u0110\u00e0 N\u1eb5ng Artistic Photographers Association, said he saw injuries on the monkeys, but he is not sure exactly how many monkeys there were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI could count at least eight living in the garden of Linh \u1ee8ng Pagoda. Some monkeys had lost one or two limbs, and there was even a pregnant monkey with a cut on its stomach,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H\u01b0ng said he suspected that the injuries on the monkeys were caused by humans, not conflicts among animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two other local photographers \u2013 An B\u00ecnh and Thanh Ng\u1ecdc Tr\u00fac \u2013 said they found a local man shooting at the monkeys with a catapult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They said the shooter, who wore a uniform of the photograph service at the pagoda, tried to shoot the monkeys on the trees for fun and cause them to get aggressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vice director of the city\u2019s agriculture and rural development department, Tr\u1ea7n Vi\u1ebft Ph\u01b0\u01a1ng, said local rangers have identified the man and a report on the illegal act will be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ph\u01b0\u01a1ng, who is head of the city\u2019s forest protection sub-department, said warnings on feeding monkeys and other wildlife had been posted at destinations in the S\u01a1n Tr\u00e0 Mountains, but some tourists neglected the notices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They (tourists and local residents) fed the monkeys with snacks, candy and biscuits, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Efforts have been made to drive troupes of monkeys back to the S\u01a1n Tr\u00e0 Nature Reserve over recent months, but a group of 30 monkeys still occupy the Linh \u1ee8ng Pagoda garden seeking food from visitors, Ph\u01b0\u01a1ng said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monkeys can be seen heading downhill to look for food from tourists and dustbins at the Linh \u1ee8ng Pagoda, resorts, fruit gardens and kitchens at farms in the reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six monkeys were killed by motorcyclists in 2015-17, and two cases of illegal hunting were uncovered in the area, with three red-shanked douc langurs killed for money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least 10,000 people visit the areas every month, causing noise pollution and leaving leftovers and rubbish in the reserve, a report from the S\u01a1n Tr\u00e0 management board said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
