💨 Abstract

Animal activists are opposing a proposal by the Cape Peninsula Baboon Management Joint Task Team (CPBMJTT) to remove several baboon troops from the Cape Peninsula. The proposal, which includes options like translocation, capture, and humane euthanasia, aims to address the increasing baboon population that has strained available resources. However, activists argue for sustainable and ethical management practices, emphasizing the baboons' role as residents of the rapidly shrinking wild habitats.
