Indonesia macaque injures 18, closes schools
The article focused on controlling a long-tailed macaque that attacked 18 people on an island in Sumatra, Indonesia, resulting in some being seriously injured and needing rabies vaccinations for treatment. The monkey was captured after falling into a trap, and it is suspected to be part of a group of monkeys that have started to behave differently after learning to associate humans with food, a change likely caused by the deterioration of their natural habitats due to deforestation. The activation of safety measures led to the closure of 40 schools and the implementation of remote learning for three days. The monkey was transported to Pekanbaru for examinations and health assessment. It is worth noting that animal attacks on humans are common in the archipelago, mainly due to the destruction of their natural environments.
