#Punch Card Challenge Bureau # [A member of the "Monkey Gang" in Japan was executed] Due to the continuous harassment of local residents, a Japanese public welfare hunting organization recently tracked down and executed a member of the "Monkey Gang", and the macaque that was euthanized is believed to have participated in at least one or more incidents of harassing the people and causing many injuries. After World War II, Japan issued a protection order for macaques, which led to a sharp increase in the number of macaques. Due to the influx of rural Japanese people into the cities, these macaques also gradually roamed from the countryside to the cities, and began to frequently harass the local people. According to media reports, the monkeys not only learned how to open the door, but even brute forced the windows. In one incident, a monkey broke into a kindergarten, broke a window, and stood on the shoulder of a 4-year-old, causing the toddler to be overly frightened; In another incident, a monkey broke through the door and prepared to rob a young child, but was fortunately discovered by his family in time. It is believed that as many as 50 similar incidents have occurred in Yamaguchi City, where monkeys are the most disturbed, causing concern among the public that many local residents have to carry umbrellas or specially prepared wooden sticks with them when they take to the streets to protect themselves.
