Fines for feeding baboons in Cape Town

Authorities have announced that people caught feeding the baboons around CapeTown will be fined. Some tourists feed the animals to tempt them closer to take photographs despite the warning signs. The baboons are becoming more aggressive in their efforts to get an easy meal from humans. Tourists and tour operators who feed baboons will be fined up to R1 500 or face six months in prison.
