We subsequently became aware that baboons from other troops were also missing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She accused the Cape Peninsula Baboon Management Joint Task Team (CPBMJTT) of wasting no time in using a management style that does not have the full support of the public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere was about a decade when adult male baboons of the Cape Peninsula were regularly killed by authorities, for being classed as raiding males and simultaneously it was acknowledged that almost all adult male baboons in the Peninsula, if they lived long enough, would be classified as raiding males.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ALSO READ:&nbsp;<a

of baboons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI did everything I possibly could to minimise that happening, working day and night to set up separate baboon alerts groups for areas the group moved through across the peninsula, so that people could be aware in advance and close up their houses, and in the initial stages of the journey,\u201d said Silk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"

Town, Muizenberg, and Fish Hoek was held at Surfers Corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The one-hour memorial focused on honouring the baboons and brainstorming ways to amplify the message against their killings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beauty Without Cruelty chair Toni Brockhoven said it was time for people to take responsibility and accountability for their actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe, collectively, should hang our heads in shame,\u201d she said. \u201cProperty and garden damage and the violence towards baboons will continue as long as humans refuse to be responsible and

effective waste management solutions, along with other measures discussed over and over, the baboons will be the losers in all of this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the vigil participants, who included six

CPBMJTT confirmed last week that the three baboons in question were indeed euthanised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThree raiding baboons were euthanised over the past four weeks following deliberation,\u201d the statement read. \u201cThe decision followed upon an assessment of the case histories of the three raiding baboons from the Waterfall, Da Gama, and Smitswinkel troops.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

CPBMJTT accepts that not all residents or stakeholders will be in support of such decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHowever, the CPBMJTT is confident that these decisions, although difficult, are robust, rational and based on the best available information and scientific advice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the CPBMJTT, euthanasia is one of several tools which can be utilised as set out in the baboon management guidelines. \u201cThe task team is guided by the baboon management guidelines and will implement these as and when needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the task team confirmed
