Hello friends. More than 3 million monkeys attacked the city, causing more than $10 billion in damage to the economy. They attack the city, destroying infrastructure and attacking people. To deal with baboons, people have implemented some control measures. Join me to find out in the following video.
First, are you curious about the name of the baboon? Baboons, also known as Rhesus monkeys, originate from Asia. In the US, the state of Florida is home to the largest number of baboons, due to individuals escaping from research facilities and experimental camps. Initially, their number in Florida was estimated at a few dozen, but has since increased to millions. Baboons have thick, gray or brown fur with a red mark on the bottom. Their average weight is about 17-25 pounds. They are aggressive animals and can be dangerous by attacking other species in the city. Especially when they feel threatened or when stealing food. Their sharp fangs are about an inch long. Baboons breed usually in spring and summer when the weather is warm. Each time they reproduce, they usually give birth to 1 to 3 cubs. They are omnivores, their food includes fruits and small animals. They live in large herds. They have a clear hierarchy and follow the leadership of the alpha male. Baboons are highly adaptable to diverse habitats, from jungles to grasslands and even urban areas.
They are attacking the city of Florida, roaming the main roads causing traffic congestion. This not only affects the mobility of residents but also delays public projects and businesses. They target traffic participants, especially car drivers, posing serious injury risks to them. Attacking vehicles on the road is either for food or due to their instinct to search for new habitats. However, the damage doesn't stop there. They boldly live on people's rooftops, damaging infrastructure and personal property. Invading homes to search for food, causes significant losses to the local economy.
Estimated annual damages in Florida amount to billions of USD, encompassing repair costs. This has sparked unease and worry within the community, negatively impacting people's mental well-being. Moreover, they not only pilfer food from human residences but also ravage food sources throughout the city. This behavior directly affects environmental hygiene, polluting water sources. It could lead to serious environmental and public health issues, further burdening government agencies and environmental protection organizations.
To deal with this aggressive animal, Florida people have deployed hunting activities. Hunting baboons with bows and arrows is a popular practice to control their populations. Hunters often choose locations far from residential areas where baboons often visit, convenient for hunting. Before starting, local people often prepare large amounts of food such as tomatoes and oranges to attract baboons. Then, the hunter will prepare his bow and arrow. In Florida, hunters often use highly accurate bows and arrows to precisely target their prey. While hunting, hunters often choose well-covered locations to avoid being detected by baboons. They will wait until the baboons appear at a suitable distance before taking them down.
The common bow used for baboon hunting is the compound bow, known for its accuracy and powerful shooting ability at distances of 20-30 feet. Hunters often aim at the head or neck area to take them down. Each hunting trip can catch from 4 to 5 baboons, depending on the hunter's skill and weather conditions. The use of bows and arrows is an effective measure to reduce the proliferation of baboons and protect the natural environment as well as people's livelihoods.
However, the use of pythons must be closely monitored to ensure that it does not adversely affect humans and the surrounding animal species. The issue of monkey invasions in the state of Florida remains a significant concern. Although control measures have been implemented, there are still large areas where they can roam freely and cause problems for the community. To address this issue, there needs to be close cooperation between government agencies, the public, and environmental protection organizations.
But I don't support the use of bows and arrows to control baboons. I believe this method is inhumane and harms them. What do you think about this approach? Comment 1 if you also disagree with the use of bows and arrows. In my opinion, methods such as sterilization or relocating them to wildlife conservation areas are more humane and sustainable approaches to addressing the issue. Besides addressing the risk to humans, we also need to consider the existence and rights of animal species, including baboons. Dealing with their invasion requires careful consideration of countermeasures while respecting their lives and freedom.
