Anybody lose their pet monkeys?

Truckload of 'aggressive' research monkeys escape after truck crash in Mississippi; 1 still on the loose.

Not to worry, but the primates were carrying hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID ! 🤪

After everything that's happened, why would anyone infect a monkey with COVID???

Yes. I have lost a monkey pet.

Shortly before, like a decade before America’s sesquicentennial, part of my proud family was not one but two pet monkeys.

I keed you not.

One of ‘em escaped his cage, of course. Dad loved that monkey who would sit on his shoulder watching Mutual of Omaha’s Wiid Kingdom. Then poof, gone.

The search was on! For hours the House of Crowbob rifled through our entire house like James Comey through Melania’s unmentionables.

Dad, near tears, was desperately searching, including under his bed, when he noticed a tear of the fabric that your box springs are in. Flashlight in hand two tiny beady eyes were blinking at dad in the darkness.

He is found! Our beloved Pogo, a Common Marmoset, was home again!

Peaches, the other of our primate pets has his own stories. He was a spider monkey.

Ask Tulane University, BTW, all their Monkeys were executed on site, they were to sick to even try and flee.

I was petting my monkey just this morning. I’d sure hate to lose it.

I had a summer job at the Aeromed lab at WPAFB when I was in college.

I was a monkey scratcher.

They had some monkeys in full body casts for some kind of study on what happens to bones if they are totally unused for a period of time. So these monkeys were held upright and immobilized by the casts for months. My job was to entertain them by scratching their bellies and talking to them. I hated the job, and wondered how much the monkeys were suffering. They were mean, but all the other monkeys in the lab were nasty little creatures. It was probably the worst job I ever had.

When you get a pig heart valve chances are the pig was psychotic too from the cruel confinements.
