开普敦市议会宣布将立即捕获两支查科马狒狒群落，对其进行绝育并永久迁至新建保护区1。该举措旨在应对日益严重的人畜冲突问题。根据2025年人口普查数据，开普敦的狒狒数量自2000年以来增长了三分之一，从360只增至493只，目前分布在12个受管理群落中1。市议会表示，过去两年冲突已达到"沸点"，而自1990年代末停止捕杀行动以来，这一问题已积累20多年1。
该计划遭到动物权利倡导者的激烈批评1。反对者主张狒狒应保持自由生活，并认为破坏性较低的解决方案尚未被充分考虑1。
Cape Town's municipal authorities have announced plans to immediately capture two troops of chacma baboons, sterilize them, and permanently relocate them to a newly established wildlife reserve as tensions over repeated human-animal conflicts escalate.1 A 2025 census revealed that the baboon population has grown by one-third since 2000, expanding from 360 individuals to 493, distributed across 12 managed troops in the city.1
The relocation initiative reflects mounting pressures that have intensified over the past two decades. The city halted culling operations in the late 1990s, after which conflict issues accumulated over more than twenty years before reaching what officials describe as a "boiling point" in recent years.1 However, the proposal has drawn sharp criticism from animal rights advocates, who argue that baboons should remain free-living and contend that less destructive alternatives have not been adequately explored.1
