The pig-tailed macaque was handed over by Mr. Truong Ba Ha (residing in Phu Bai ward, Huong Thuy town). Previously, this pig-tailed macaque had strayed and Mr. Ha had captured and kept it in captivity.
Knowing that this was a rare and endangered wild animal, Mr. Ha proactively contacted the forest rangers to hand it over and release it back into the wild.
After receiving it, Huong Thuy Town Forest Protection Department is taking care of it while completing procedures to release the pig-tailed macaque back into the wild according to the law.
