Mini-documentary by Eric Miller
The following mini-documentary was made by Eric Miller and illustrates the current reality and developments in Pringle Bay, including our role as KVET.
Eric Miller: The Easter weekend highlighted some of the large schisms in Pringle Bay around baboon issues. My personal take on it is that pretty much everyone in the village agrees on one fundamental issue…. that baboons do not belong in the village. They should be encouraged out of the village humanely to find food only by foraging in the wild, on the basis that human food is unhealthy for baboons, and the food grabs (which are not a new phenomenon) create widespread anxiety, fear and anger resulting in community divisions. Right now, this particular video story has a happy ending which vindicates the efforts of the KVET volunteers who spent so much time and energy trying to curtail the blue tag baboon (aka Kanye) over Easter from grabbing shoppers’ food purchases.
