Guardians of the Nest: The Battle Against Vervet Monkeys

Explore the vital role of hunting in managing monkey and baboon populations in South Africa, where natural predators are scarce. Human-wildlife conflicts, habitat degradation, and disease transmission pose significant challenges. In this video, delve into the reasons behind controlled hunting as a crucial strategy to maintain a balanced ecosystem, protect local agriculture, and ensure the well-being of both humans and primates.

I personally think that the baboons and monkeys could be some of the hardest creatures to deal with on a daily basis in the modern day. The seem to be able to handle or adapt to almost anything!

We in America have to deal with both monkey’s and baboons on a daily basis as well, though they place basketball, football, and beleive that talking shit to a plagiarized song is music or requires any talent.

[@oif3vetk9]

Every region has their own "bandits" that must be controlled through ethical means. Where I live it's racoons, coyotes and woodchucks. They each pose their own issues whether it be agricultural, chicken coop raiding or predator. Some people may not understand or like it but this is how it is. We don't aim to make them extinct because that would create another set of issues.

[@jaywiebe7612]

We have coyotes, bears coyotes, cougars and wolves. The reason I put coyotes twice is I saw 13 yesterday within a half hour of home. The wolves and cougars have been rather scarce tho. But there is no closed season and no bag limit on private property for black bear and coyote.
