Monkeys can be said to be an animal that people love and hate. Anyone who has watched "Monkey King" knows that Sun Wukong is a monkey, both naughty and loyal, and seventy-two changes, monsters are afraid when they see it, and they look very liked; But the monkeys in reality, but not so flattering, but many people hate, they not only like to rob people, but even block the road robbery, not long ago Guizhou more monkeys into the city on a large scale, frightening everyone, I don't know I thought that Sun Dasheng returned, the monkeys went to greet, in fact, just to go to the residents' homes to grab something to eat.
Coincidentally, a similar thing happened in Emei Mountain, not long ago a man was playing in Emei Mountain, when climbing the mountain, he encountered the robbery Tibetan chief monkey, and blocked the man with his body to get the man to hand over the food in his hand, the man was unwilling, lightly kicked, did not expect the monkey to be angry, stood up and began to beat people, the man could only retreat and throw away the food in his hand. However, this did not have much effect, but made the monkeys worse, and soon a group of monkeys came, some of them were responsible for eating, and one specially blocked the man from going up.
A woman in Chongqing was robbed by monkeys. The woman was originally isolated in the hotel, but did not expect that the monkey in the scenic area actually came to visit in person, climbed to the balcony of the hotel room where the woman lived, and then secretly opened the balcony door and jumped on the table in the woman's room, took away the bread, and after a while the monkey finished eating, and entered the room to take the woman's milk, and called a companion to drink in front of the woman on the balcony, and the woman hid in the room and did not dare to breathe.
Beating, robbing, stealing, why are the monkeys so bold? Are monkeys born like this?
The answer is definitely no. If you are lucky enough to meet the old people around Mount Emei, you will learn another different version of the story, once the monkeys of Mount Emei never went down easily, they were happy on the mountain, eating food from nature, and only going down to find something to eat when food was scarce, but there were also very polite ones. The people of Emei Mountain at that time even thought that seeing a monkey was auspicious, and called it a spirit beast.
However, with the development of tourism, there are more and more tourists in Emei Mountain, when the first monkey is fed by humans, when the first monkey tastes the delicacy from the human world, when the first monkey beats humans and is okay, monkeys with learned abilities begin to no longer fear humans, no longer like raw food, no longer like to forage for food, and this is a vicious circle. Just like the "mom boy" in the human world, he has to rely on his mother for everything, and he is unhappy and frantically beats and scolds his mother, but his mother often does not dare to fight back for various reasons, isn't this relationship between the current Emeishan monkey and humans?
Walking east from Mount Emei in Sichuan, in Guizhou's Qianling Mountain, perhaps the monkeys here can better explain why they have become so bold, like a "robber", making people fearful and no longer think that monkeys are cute little animals.
Qianling Mountain, Guizhou, this beautiful place was initially free of monkeys, but in 1966, due to the negligence of the laboratory and the park, 8 macaques escaped from the "cage" where they were kept, and gradually formed a small and stable monkey group in Qianling Mountain.
Originally, due to the limited space and food in Qianling Mountain Park, the scale of the monkey group would not be too large, and there would be no human-animal conflict. But since the mid-80s, these monkeys were domesticated by people by feeding, the monkey population changed from "wild" to "semi-wild", the monkey race began to expand, soon increased to 50, and because the monkeys were no longer afraid of humans, the number increased, and the monkeys began to contact tourists.
At the peak time, hundreds of people here feed macaques for a long time every day, and this makes the monkey group that has no natural enemies begin to expand dramatically, increasing to more than 1200 at the most, which is a big burden for the already small scenic area.
Due to the expansion of the number, the competition between monkeys also began to become fierce, and these monkeys who already had some tempers would become irritable; And because humans feed food mixed with chemicals, to a certain extent, monkeys induce physiological diseases, such as tumors, high blood pressure, diabetes and endocrine disorders, some monkeys begin to become more aggressive.
Once they see that humans who once cared for them refuse food, they become agitated and become aggressive, including grabbing your clothes with their hands or biting directly with their teeth. To put it bluntly, this is actually the result of human self-inflicted evil, and good wild things must be fed, otherwise there will not be so many monkeys hurting people. It is understood that the monkeys in Qianling Mountain have injured people more than 5,000 times in the past year.
Epilogue:
The key to the conflict between monkeys and humans lies in people, and we have to pay for it ourselves. If it is not for us humans to take the initiative to feed them and take the initiative to approach them, monkeys and our world still have a certain distance, especially some Internet celebrities, deliberately to provoke monkeys, win attention and traffic, so that monkeys are less and less afraid of humans, more and more dependent on human food. When they are not full, the monkey first does not think of going to the mountains to find their own food, but directly to find someone to ask for it, or rob people of things, you will riot if you don't give it.
Moreover, your feeding may not only make people and animals escalate, but also harm monkeys, Qianling Mountain's park management director once said: people feed things because of a large amount of sugar, starch and hormones, etc., are not suitable for long-term consumption of monkeys, will cause monkeys to rely more and more on these foods, so that monkeys no longer forage for food, and no longer beat in the mountains, eventually leading to monkey health decline, mental malaise and overbreeding, temper will become more and more cloudy.
Therefore, do not blame why monkeys have become so bold and dangerous, we should reflect on ourselves, whether your love is "poisonous love", this time and time again, you may not have a big problem, but it is slowly destroying the fragile harmony between man and nature. As ordinary people, we should keep our distance from wild animals, not overly panic and not overly loving. That's how people and wild animals are supposed to get along.
