On November 11, the Ho Chi Minh City Forest Protection Department shot tranquilizers at two monkeys that were causing trouble and biting people in residential areas in District 12 and Hoc Mon District.
According to initial information, for many months now in neighborhood 2, Trung My Tay ward (district 12), a monkey has been making trouble in the residential area. At least two people have been attacked and injured by this monkey.

In addition, people in Tan Thoi 1 hamlet, Tan Hiep commune (Hoc Mon district) also said that a monkey often appeared in the area, causing trouble, stealing food, catching chickens and puppies. Seeing the monkey causing trouble, people tried to chase it away, but the animal bared its teeth and ran away.
"It's been here for 5 years. It was very small before, but now it's so fierce that everyone in the neighborhood is afraid of it," said Nguyen Thi Lien (74 years old).
On the morning of November 11, forest rangers went to the two areas above to coordinate with local authorities to search and capture monkeys.

The rangers successfully used anesthetic guns to anesthetize both monkeys, including a pig-tailed macaque (female) weighing 7.5 kg and a long-tailed macaque (female) weighing 6 kg.
Forest rangers brought these two monkeys to Cu Chi Wildlife Rescue Station for care and rescue according to regulations.
