But it doesn't mean that it can't be done at all. Because there are legal regulations supporting it. For example, if you want to capture a monkey and have it sterilized. Still need to request approval from the Director-General of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation in order to proceed. But when there was distress, the National Park Department itself did not become complacent. Let's continue to find solutions to help each other. Most recently, a law was issued to provide compensation for those bitten by monkeys.
