Wildlife concern groups have expressed concerns over the killing of 357 monkeys in Singapore in just six months this year. That amounts to an average 59 macaques a month.
Media reports cited Louis Ng, chief executive of the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society as saying that the scale of culling ``seems like we're trying to exterminate the monkeys, not manage the conflicts between them and people.''
The Sunday Times said the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority had euthanized 357 monkeys from January to June, compared with 204 in 2010, 151 in 2011 and 127 last year. Link
