Do not interfere with monkeys

-

Please do not interfere with Wildlife such as Monkeys or encourage them into houses as this interferes with their natural existence. It can also cause monkeys to come into conflict with people and other domesticat­ed pets, causing unnecessar­y injury and suffering and spread disease. We encourage people to respect our wildlife, but not to interfere with it, especially for personal reasons. Quite simply put it is that monkeys in the wild have not become reliant on humans for food and shelter and live a life of contentmen­t, eating from natures food basket ‒ they do not need interferen­ce from humans.
