Default Barbary apes that terrorise tourists to be culled

The apes are part of a breakaway group that are going into town and making a nuisance as well as posing health hazards. British soldiers are thought to have introduced the apes, natives of north Africa, into Gibraltar in the miid-18th century to use for shooting practice.
