Not long ago, the clip of a photographer shooting a rubber slingshot shooting a monkey on the Linh Ung pagoda campus, Son Tra Peninsula (Da Nang) also angered many people.
Follow Photographer Nguyen Cong Hung (resident in Hoa Hai District, Ngu Hanh Son District, Da Nang City), He spent 2 months taking photos and decided to post them online after seeing a clip from a photographer in a temple shooting monkeys.
Photos taken by him are shown. the monkeys are full of wounds, the legs are amputated, the hands are cut, the skin is broken, the bone is broken and the wounds are bleeding. Many children have a limb of 2-3 limbs, they do not know how to feed when traveling, climbing is difficult …
Through observation, Mr. Hung thought that most of the monkeys’ injuries were caused by humans. Meanwhile, the Son Tra ranger force claimed they were injured in an accident with a car that was carrying tourists up and down the temple every day.

However, Mr. Hung said that another tourist area in Bai Bac, the Son Tra peninsula, also has many monkeys that live and get close to humans. However, the monkey life here is relatively good and he did not see the injured monkey.
It is a fact that the monkeys living around the Linh Ung Pagoda are getting bolder with humans. Monkeys ‘frequent contact with visitors and many people with eating habits have instilled a natural eating instinct, making monkeys increasingly dependent on visitors’ food.
The complex and authorities repeatedly advise visitors not to feed the monkeys, but many still ignore a photo with the monkeys.
And when they are not fed, monkeys attack visitors in search of food. In such cases, we always blame aggressive monkeys for forgetting that humans have invaded their natural habitat.
Americans previously called Son Tra Mountain the Monkey Mountain because it is home to many monkeys and langurs, as well as a variety of other natural animals.
Along with the wave of tourism development and human invasion on the peninsula, wildlife here is becoming increasingly difficult.
