Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 28830, member: 2262"] Baboons run wild at Gwanda Provincial Hospital these days. They break windows, leave water running everywhere, and throw trash all around the place. These animals tear up roofs and destroy the gardens meant for patients. The bold creatures walk right into hospital rooms, scaring sick people and stealing their meals. Dr. Mthandazo Mabanga runs the hospital and says baboons cause trouble throughout Gwanda town. He explained how they damage the building structure, including roof parts, rain gutters, and electrical wiring because they love climbing everywhere. The hospital staff asked Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife for help, but nobody came to fix the problem yet. Farm manager Nothando Ncube pointed out why these animals find hospitals attractive. Food scraps draw them inside through an open window, door, or air vent. Their natural curiosity makes them explore new areas, and human buildings often sit where these animals used to live. She warned that baboons carry dangerous illnesses like rabies, herpes, and TB that can spread to humans. People living nearby must lock their homes tight against these troublemakers. The monkeys dig through garbage cans, spread trash around yards, and raid kitchens, looking for anything edible. Resident Akim Mpofu said everyone knows about this issue. At first, they thought hunger from the drought drove the animals to the hospital, but he believes the baboons simply enjoy playing there. When community members contacted wildlife authorities again, officials claimed they needed more resources before taking action. Mpofu suggested the community might need plans to move these animals somewhere else safely. [/QUOTE]
