Monkeys deserve some respect

Re: Bt900,000 to move monkeys, News, May 18

Monkeys are not the problem, but local folks and tourists are wrong to give them food or tease them for fun.
Moving the monkey colonies to isolated islands will change nothing to solve the problem, as you will still have guides taking people to see the monkeys, as they do on the Phi-Phi islands.
Some monkey families may be moved, but fining the wrongdoers would be the best way to stop the monkeys being aggressive for food.
The monkeys were there before humans came to settle, so we need to respect them.
