On April 23, a video titled "Aunt touches the monkey's buttocks, and the uncle is innocently attacked" spread quickly on the Internet, causing widespread attention. In the video, a woman touched the buttocks of a monkey with her hand while visiting the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, causing the monkey to turn around and attack a male tourist next to her, causing him to suffer facial injuries and a painful expression. The timing of the event has diverged online, with some information pointing to April 22 and others believing it to have occurred on the 23rd.
The aunt in the back touches the monkey's butt
As the popularity of the event rose, the video successfully ranked among the social hotspots of a short video platform, attracting hundreds of thousands of onlookers. However, in response to this incident, many departments of Emeishan City and the scenic spot gave different accounts in an interview with the cover news reporter. They all said they had not received any recent complaints or feedback from tourists about such incidents. Judging from the current situation, it is likely that the incident in the video did not happen recently, because there has been snowfall in the Jinding area recently, and macaques are less infested.
The monkey was provoked and bit the uncle in front of him
The management of the scenic spot further pointed out that since the video itself does not provide an exact time clue, and it is impossible to accurately determine whether the tourists are actually injured from the footage, they are gradually investigating and verifying the matter. Despite this, the relevant authorities have also confirmed that according to the usual treatment procedures, if tourists are indeed attacked by macaques, the scenic spot will assist them in wound treatment and recommend vaccination.
In view of the public concern caused by this incident, the Emei Mountain Scenic Area once again issued a safety reminder, reminding tourists to abide by the relevant regulations when watching macaques, not to engage in any form of harm, hunting, trading or eating wild animals, and to avoid physical contact with macaques, including petting, teasing, etc. In addition, visitors should refrain from making movements that may cause the macaque to be nervous or hostile, such as glaring, chasing, yelling, or kicking. For special groups such as minors, pregnant women, heart patients, etc., it is recommended to be accompanied by an adult, or cautiously go to the monkey activity area. In the event of a macaque intercepting or snatching of an object, visitors should remain calm and avoid conflict with the monkeys, and may seek help from staff or other visitors. If you are accidentally attacked by a macaque, you must seek help from the staff as soon as possible and seek medical attention in time.
