Singapore is at a crossroads in its management of wild monkeys, and to cull or not to cull these native creatures has emerged as a key question. The public feedback on monkeys, mostly complaints and related to safety and nuisance concerns, fell sharply from 1,860 instances in 2013 to just 750 last year because the Agricultural-Food and Veterinary (AVA) killed about 570 monkeys, about a third of the estimated population at that time.
I feel that it's inhuman and cruel to kill monkeys even though there are overpopulation. They are living things and have feelings like us even though they cannot communicate like us. Just because they cannot communicate with us, it doesn't mean that we can slaughter them whenever we want to. There are other methods to actually cut down on this animals' population, such as, sending to other countries etc.. Even if they possess harm, that is just because they do not have such high IQ like us and are unable to make rational decision. Whether there are an overpopulation or not, we should not be killing those innocent animal.
