[Reporter Huang Meizhu/Hsinchu Report] Hsinchu County Kansai Leofoo Village Theme Amusement Park was interviewed this morning (23rd) and solemnly denied that any primates had escaped.

The Hsinchu County Animal Protection and Epidemic Prevention Office stated that Leofoo Village will update the number of animals raised in the garden every season. Among them, the latest number of primates reported last year was 334. The species include: Taiwanese macaques, great gibbons, black-handed gibbons, and ring-tailed Lemurs, pig-tailed monkeys, etc., but I have never seen Leofoo Village report breeding "East African baboons". Is there some misunderstanding?

The county government is also clarifying.

Leofoo Village stated that the veterinarian at their animal hospital did receive a call from the village chief of Zhongliping Township, Taoyuan City on the 18th asking if any baboons had escaped.

Leofoo Village emphasized that they volunteered to go to the scene to help trap because they had the trapping equipment and experience in the park. However, the veterinarian who arrived said that the distance was far away and only a few seconds flashed by. "Primates", the idea that the escaped "East African baboons" came from nowhere.

Leofoo Village emphasized that they promised to assist in trapping until this Sunday, but the "primate" animal has not been seen since the aforementioned glimpse. If they still do not find anything by Sunday, they will remove the trapping cage.

Leofoo Village believes that this rumored oolong statement has caused them trouble, and will officially issue a press release to clarify it later.
