近日，“男子推峨眉山崖边进食猴子，险致其坠崖”的视频在网络上传播，引发热议。

A video showing a man pushing a monkey off a cliff edge at Mount Emei in Sichuan province has gone viral on Chinese social media, sparking widespread backlash.

视频显示，峨眉山景区雷洞坪附近一处步行道上，一只猴子在山崖边安静进食时，一男子悄悄靠近，突然伸手将猴子往悬崖外猛推。所幸猴子反应及时抓住了护栏，才未坠落悬崖。事后，该男子嬉笑着跑开。

The footage, filmed on a walking trail near Leidongping in the Mount Emei Scenic Area, shows a monkey quietly eating near the edge of a cliff when a man approaches from behind and suddenly pushes the animal. The monkey manages to grab onto a railing and avoids falling. The man then laughs and runs away.

视频发布者称，该男子的行为“把猴吓一跳，把我也吓一跳”。

5月6日晚，封面新闻记者从峨眉山景区管委会获悉，该男子目前已经离开景区，景区公安、林业等多个部门正介入调查。

On Wednesday evening, the Mount Emei Scenic Area management authority told Cover News that the man had already left the site and that local police and forestry authorities had launched an investigation.

网友：猴子的命也是命，不能漠视生命

大量网友针对此事留言，认为该男子行为不妥。

有人说：“我很少站在猴子这边，但这次我站猴子。”“这不是开玩笑，而是漠视生命。”

也有人追问事件调查进展：“猴子的命也是命，伤害国家二级保护动物，要有个说法。”





律师：若造成猴子死亡，属违法行为

四川方策律师事务所郭刚律师告诉记者，依据《中华人民共和国野生动物保护法》第21条、第48条规定，该男子的行为完全是一种非理性之举。

若造成猴子摔下悬崖死亡，则属于杀害野生动物的违法行为，行政上可能被处一万元以上、十万元以下罚款；构成犯罪的，还可依法追究刑事责任。

Guo Gang, a lawyer with Sichuan Fangce Law Firm, said the man's behavior may have violated Articles 21 and 48 of China's Wildlife Protection Law.

He said that if the monkey had fallen to its death, the act could have constituted the illegal harming or killing of wildlife, potentially resulting in an administrative fine ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 yuan. In serious cases, criminal liability could also apply.

“但若猴子主动攻击游客、危及游客人身安全，游客在此紧急情况下采取措施造成猴子损害的，依据《中华人民共和国野生动物保护法》第19条第三款的规定，游客不承担法律责任。”郭刚说。

However, Guo added that under Article 19, paragraph 3 of the same law, a person would not bear legal responsibility if they harmed a wild animal while acting in self-defense during an emergency situation that posed a direct threat to personal safety.

据悉，峨眉山猴子为藏酋猴，俗称“藏猕猴”“峨眉猴”“大青猴”，是国家二级保护野生动物。它们以多种植物的叶、芽、果、枝及竹笋为食，兼食昆虫、蛙、鸟卵等动物性食物。

峨眉山景区自然分布约15群、500余只野生猴，既有一定灵性，又野性犹存。

长期以来，景区禁止游客投喂野生猴、招猴、逗猴、戏猴、抚摸野生猴，更严禁游客做出瞪视、追赶、惊吓、吼叫、踢打等刺激或攻击猴子的行为。
