‘It’s hard to sell a house when it’s covered in baboon faeces’: Cape Town divided over plan to remove its monkeys

• Cape Town’s city council has said it will “imminently” round up two baboon troops coming into repeated conflict with residents.
• The animals will be sterilised and permanently moved to a newly constructed sanctuary.
• The plan has been fiercely criticised by animal rights activists, who say the monkeys should remain roaming freely, and that less destructive options have not been properly considered.
