As baboons become bolder, Cape Town region struggles to find solutions | AFP

[@timbassett1769]

The property Ms. Silk is filming on is our next-door neighbour. I have 3 questions/concerns. 1. This is not the entire Da Gama Troop but 2 females and their offspring that often sleep in the 2 trees on their property and the one on the border of theirs and ours. 2. How did the female happen to get a bread roll at the exact time the video was shot. 3. What is the point Ms. Silk is trying to make?

Population is exploding in Africa, developments are gaining everywhere, including on the National Parks, where they meet the fauna... Same problem in Kenya they build houses on the lions' territories, then they are surprised when these enter in their garden.

These baboons look fat & unhealthy as they are not eating their normal diet! It’s so sad to see them like this 😢😢😢😢😢 Stop encouraging them onto your property, be vigilant and lock your homes!

[@wiewat231]

What's normal diet for humans?

[@anitamarshall9804]

We build on their home and then we are surprised at the outcome. Duh.

Did she just say that the people live INSIDE the reserve? Who, then, is doing the invading here?

[@DR_1_1]

Demographics in sub-saharian Africa are just crazy! Like 6 kids per woman - average!!!

I have always hated these animals but today I felt bad for them

[@erika4925]

The baboons were there first. Stop encroaching!

In Hout Bay in the 70's if the baboons came the urban edge they were culled, they lived and died on the surrounding mountains according to the amount of food available in veld. Drought - baboon population went down, good rain baboon population went up, baboons knew to stay out of town.

Well you just have to learn to live with them as a humans had for 1000 of years before development

[@RobertFach]

That look from the baboon at the end says it all: "We were here first, get lost!"

[@quincyzebra1910]

Tell that to afrikaans people

[@nancymaldonado-v5h]

People are taking their land which they have known all their lives I feel bad for them

[@ayeleraberra4338]

Adopt the Indian way of living alongside their monkeys. Feed them love them they will start to respect you.

[@JavidSaeed-r2q]

[@maxdout564]

If you dont want them on your property just get a dog.

[@Anime1love]

lol a dog? you're kidding right

[@ajitk4627]

Planet of the Baboons!!! 😅

[@CletusMcCockburn]

They should be managed through responsible hunting practices. A study of how many animals that can naturally sustain on the size of land which the population lives then a plan put in place to keep the numbers in check. There are several different ways this can be accomplished and is practiced and proven to be effective in different regions in the world with certain species of animals.

[@cicciomattese]

Hunting is always harmfull to animals and aslo people

[@CletusMcCockburn]

Hunting can also be Beneficial to both Animals and People . It’s a double edged sword sometimes…

[@VinothanSrikaranathan]

These are pests...

[@thelaughingtiger146]

I could never live any place that has monkeys. Hell no!

[@AlexAnder-rv1gu]

Maybe you should give them all pre-paid credit cards and free housing. That's how European and American governments would deal with this kind of problem.
