In a bid to counter the headache monkeys pose to residents and farmers in Kaohsiung, people caught
feeding monkeys are to be fined between NT$5,000 and NT$10,000. Since the declaration of the regulations in
2012, the city government has focused on dissuading people from feeding monkeys and has only handed down
fines when warnings were 41 . However, starting next week, there will be no warnings and fines will be
issued on the 42 in accordance with the Kaohsiung Autonomous Regulations for Wildlife Conservation
(高雄市野生動物保育自治條例) amended earlier by the city council. People who provide information, such
as video recordings or photographs, that help 43 those feeding monkeys could receive up to 20 percent of
the fine as a reward. The city government made the decision after years of trying to dissuade people from feeding Taiwanese
macaques on Shoushan (壽山) and Chaishan (柴山) in particular. The monkey population has 44 on the
two mountains in recent years. Incidents such as mountain climbers being attacked or visitors having their
food 45 have also increased, spurring the authorities to adopt more stringent measures.
