A staff member of the Qianlingshan Park Management Office told Upstream News that the recent macaque activity was a scientific diversion of the forestry department, because the number of macaques exceeded the ecological carrying capacity, which had a serious impact on plants, park facilities and tourists. There are formal procedures and documents for the triage, including other zoos, and the details can be consulted with the forestry department.
The management office denied the blogger's claim of violent arrests, and stressed that macaques are national second-class protected animals, and relevant staff will not carry out illegal captures. The relevant staff of the Guiyang Forestry Bureau confirmed that the number of macaques in Qianling Mountain exceeded the carrying capacity of the ecological environment and was potentially dangerous, so a scientific diversion action was carried out, which was scientifically demonstrated by professional units and experts, and obtained relevant administrative approvals. Although there were some difficulties in the diversion process, the whole process was in accordance with the legal provisions and relevant approval procedures.
