Feeding these monkeys cause littering problems

STOMPer Jungle Man feels that feeding these wild monkeys causes littering problems, and make them too dependent on humans. He says:

"These pictures were taken at the forest beside Admiralty Road West.

"The monkeys here are quite tame and they allow humans to tap them on the head. However, they seemed to be asking the cyclist for more food.

"The field is littered with food wrappers, papers and plastic bags after the feeding of monkeys is over.

"NParks has put up a notice that reads 'Do not feed the monkeys'.

"However many visitors here still insist on feeding the monkeys on Saturdays and Sundays when they come here to fish and picnic."

Why can't people just stop disturbing nature...
Monkeys sit by the roadside, you walk past/cycle past, just do your own business and don't touch them, they won't bother you...
Why are there reports of people being harassed by monkeys??
It's because of kpo people who wanna harass the monkeys first!!
Just let them be and mind your own business, stop disturbing nature!!!
Damage their habitats not enough, still wanna damage their feeding habits...!!!

bennytyj: You obviously are not aware of the problems caused by feeding of monkeys. Not only do the monkeys become bolder and start harassing people and stealing food, they end up hanging around the roadside and run the risk of getting run over by vehicles. And what happens when people cannot tolerate the monkeys raiding homes and offices in search of food? AVA catches the monkeys and culls them.

Please. Feeding the monkeys is a stupid and harmful act. You don't need to feed monkeys to appreciate them.

Idiots. These people are only going to condemn the monkeys to an unnecessary death.
