A Ha Tinh resident bought two wild animals and handed them over to Vu Quang National Park.

Ms. Tran Thi Nga (in Dong Mon commune, Ha Tinh city) has just handed over to Vu Quang National Park two wild animals, including a rare golden monkey and an owl, for further monitoring and care before releasing them back into the natural environment.

Ms. Tran Thi Nga said: "While on a business trip to Ky Anh district (Ha Tinh), I happened to see a local selling an injured monkey. Seeing that, I bought the monkey to raise, care for, and treat it."

Therefore, Ms. Nga contacted Vu Quang National Park to hand it over to the authorities for release into the natural environment.
