When humans seeking close encounters with monkeys fail to obey the "rules" of monkey watching, but instead feed monkeys, tease them, or turn their backs and run away from them, mutual misunderstandings may occur that lead to tourists being clawed or chased, and also to monkeys being attacked.
而人們與獼猴進行第一類接觸時，缺乏「賞猴守則」，不當餵食、逗弄猴子、背著猴子逃跑等行為，更造成人、猴間的誤解，遊客因此被抓傷、追逐，猴子也成為撻伐對象。
