The dealings I have had with Baboons in Africa over last 8 years is they are cute until they steal your lunch.( and that is the least thing they do)
I don't condone shooting anything for sport but culling has to be done.
Africa is not NZ .
How many times do you see people getting upset about Aussies shooting the poor old Skippy?
Baboons will destroy gardens and a large percentage of Africa still live on what they grow.
they are bloody deadly if cornered and I can tell you that from personal experience as I surprized one in change rooms one morning.
