Attempt to round up 43 escaped monkeys under way in South Carolina. They escaped from a research center farm. Reported to be very young ones. Poor little guys.

I bet someone is in trouble !!! 😮 Hope the little fellows are rounded up without issues.
They're going to be killed, anyway. A few days of freedom would be sweet.
Any time, or anywhere, just look over your shoulder, guess who'll be standing there.
Research like monkeys carrying diseases? Sorry after the china flu disaster. Our government couldn't be trusted to tell the truth.
I could comment on loose monkeys but will pass and stay out of trouble
I hope the best for the monkeys may the have fun on the adventure and not harm anyone, and i do hope the same treatment show peanuts the squirrel by NY is not their fate
UC Davis has a research facility just west of the campus called the "Monker farm", and monkeys and chimps have escaped several times. After seeing some of the workers out there in bio hazard suits trying to net one, I asked one of them about the suits. He said some of them have been injected with "stuff" that's highly contagious, and if you got bit by one, you die a slow painful death, with no cure. I rolled up my windows and left.
I was thinking the same about what disease they might be carrying.
I've heard of illegal immigrants, but this is going a bit too far!! 😯
Best be careful or you'll get a whack on the knuckles.
Outbreak or Planet of the Apes comes to mind.
I would be afraid of some type monkey pox cross with flu…….
Well someone or something has got to replace the illegal workers Trumps going to ship out 😃, our welfare dependents people won't get off the porches. Give the monkeys a chance, they may be just what we need, of course after given a complete physical.

Monkeys are smart, devious, and nasty. They are extremely difficult to capture, and even to shoot. There are escaped monkeys in Florida that have been strenuously hunted for years, yet prosper. And reproduce.
According to news reports, they are all female and were part of the breeding program they use to continuously have their own supply of test subjects. The reason there are so many is because they were not old enough to breed so were kept together.
When I heard this I thought of Ebola Reston.
Yep, they said they are "too young to carry diseases."
"They" also said another virus came from the wild. "They" also said that you gotta shutdown everything to survive.
"They" tell it how they want it to be heard. I have ZERO trust in those "they" people at this point!
It makes my skin crawl to think of animals kept in cages to be experimented on.
Exactly
That's What death row and lifers in prison should be used for
DR you just got a promote for that!! Keep checkn' yer mail, GB should be sending you a big fat check……
Agree
Agree, I have spent time in equatorial Africa and concur on the "Nasty" Baboons are worse & dangerous.
Really? Interesting, what took you there,how long?
With cold weather getting ready to set in monkey meat stew sounds pretty good, with potato, carrots and onions. lol. Only kidding.
If the immigrants catch them,,,
More than half have been captured and returned.
