Officials in South Africa are trying to make sure they can solve an unusual problem in the 2010 World Cup Finals –baboon-jacking (狒狒打劫)
For those who don’t know what this is, just ask any person from Cape Town. They will tell you that the local baboons like to enter cars and houses in search of food and drink. One special monkey, Fred, has become quite famous. Mark Duffy, leader of a group tracking Fred and his 26 strong partners, said, “Every day, it happens. He’ll hit four or five cars in about five minutes. The way Fred operates is to open car doors looking for food and drink. He also normally takes handbag. ” Mr Duffy had a warning for anyone who meets with Fred:” Don’t try to get the bag back.” This is good advice for the thousands of soccer supporters.
The Cape Town government is taking the baboon problem very seriously. They want to make sure the World Cup is a wonderful event for everyone. They are worried about more obvious problems like pickpockets(小偷) or rude people. The last thing they need is for soccer fans to be attacked or bitten by baboons. They have already spent over US $ 650,000 trying to protect the city from the baboons. Many soccer fans may not know how dangerous the baboons can be. They have a powerful bite that would mean hospital treatment.
City official Stephen Granger believes the soccer tournament(足球联赛) will pass without incident:” I don’t think there is going to be any serious disruption (困扰) to tourists… We haven’t seen baboons in the Cape Town stadium yet.’
