About 100 macaques escaped from a city facility in Lopburi, leading local authorities to start a coordinated effort to catch them.

Lopburi 市內的一處設施約有 100 隻獼猴逃脫，導致當地政府啟動協調行動將其捕捉。

The incident happened at the Lopburi Municipality Animal Nursery, where a hole in the fence allowed nearly 100 monkeys to get out. This center is used to house animals moved from the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation. Although the escape was serious, staff managed to stop another 1,000 animals from leaving. To catch the monkeys, officials used a two-part strategy: they used food traps for most of the animals and tranquilizers for the more aggressive ones.

該事件發生在 Lopburi 市政動物育嬰舍，由於圍欄出現破洞，導致近 100 隻猴子逃脫。該中心用於安置從國家公園、野生動物及植物保育局移來的動物。儘管此次逃脫情況嚴重，但工作人員成功阻止了另外 1,000 隻動物離開。為了捕捉這些猴子，官員採取了雙管齊下的策略：對大多數動物使用食物陷阱，對較具攻擊性的猴子則使用麻醉劑。

For a long time, there has been tension between local residents and wild macaques because the animals often damage property and behave aggressively. Consequently, a 2024 order required the capture of about 2,500 monkeys to reduce these conflicts. Mayor Chamroen Salacheep emphasized that the escape might have been caused by stress, such as extreme heat, overcrowding, or a lack of food.

長期以來，當地居民與野生獼猴之間一直存在緊張關係，因為這些動物經常損壞財產且行為激進。因此，2024 年的一項命令要求捕捉約 2,500 隻猴子以減少此類衝突。市長 Chamroen Salacheep 強調，逃脫可能是由壓力引起，例如極端高溫、過度擁擠或缺乏食物。

To fix the problem, Governor Weeraphong Ritrod confirmed that the damaged fence was repaired immediately. Furthermore, the administration suggested building a double-layered fence to prevent future escapes. To ensure the animals are well cared for and have enough food, the provincial government plans to create a special foundation.

為了解決此問題，省長 Weeraphong Ritrod 確認受損的圍欄已立即修復。此外，行政部門建議建造雙層圍欄以防止未來再次發生逃脫。為了確保動物得到良好照顧且有充足食物，省政府計劃成立一個特別基金會。

Authorities have fixed the facility and are still working to catch the remaining monkeys while providing help to people whose property was damaged.

當局已修復設施，目前仍致力於捕捉剩餘的猴子，同時為財產受損的民眾提供幫助。
