Apr 12 - Macaque Misunderstanding Continues Between Government and Opposition
In response to Opposition Minister for the Environment, Jaime Netto’s letter to Dr. Cortes, on the issue of Ape Management in Gibraltar the Environment Minister insists that the movement of wild animals cannot be fully controlled. He adds that culling monkeys is only a short-term measure.
Dr. Cortes also insisted that the Opposition is being ‘worse than cheap’ and grossly irresponsible for almost hoping that more monkey bites will occur.

He insists that the GSD left the current Government with a poorly managed macaque population.
