Wildlife officials fail to capture the monkey
KARACHI (Web Desk) - An interesting incident happened in the city court of Karachi as a baby monkey created panic on its premises.
A baby monkey managed to escape when brought in court alongside 13 other monkeys by the Sindh Wildlife Department.
Reports said the wildlife department arrested two persons responsible for transporting the monkeys illegally. The suspects were produced before the district and sessions court and a fine of Rs100,000 was imposed. The court also ordered to hand over the baby monkeys to the zoo.
The monkeys were kept in wooden mango crates, and one clever little monkey managed to escape the confines of its container. It sought refuge on a tree and it became a daunting task for the officials to capture him.
The Sindh Wildlife Department said they would continue their rescue operation the next day.
The department had recovered them during a search of a passenger bus arriving in Karachi from Charsadda. The monkeys were suspected to have been illegally captured from the forests in Charsadda.
Authorities are working to ensure the safety and welfare of these rescued monkeys, aiming to return them to their natural habitat or appropriate care facilities.
