Pedestrians in a besieged Japanese city have been arming themselves with pruning shears.
A marauding monkey that’s been harassing people in Japan was recently tracked down and executed by a team of"specially commissioned hunters." The macaque was part of a"monkey gang" that is responsible for more than 50 attacks in the city of Yamaguchi.
"I heard crying coming from the ground floor, so I hurried down," the baby's father told Mainichi Shimbun Daily, as reported by the Guardian."Then I saw a monkey hunching over my child." Some residents have begun arming themselves with umbrellas and pruning shears to protect themselves from the macaques, The Guardian reported. The school where the kindergartener was attacked is keeping kids away from the playground, where macaques are still at large.
Japanese macaque populations are steadily increasing, according to the paper in Mammal Study, and the species is classified as one of least concern by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's Red List. However, these monkeys were once in danger of extinction. At the end of the 19th century, roughly half of Japan’s forests, where macaques reside, were lost to deforestation.
