Cops are warning residents in rural South Carolina to shut their doors and windows after at least 43 monkeys escaped from a bio-research lab.
The rhesus macaques slipped out of an Alpha Genesis facility in Yemassee — which is just off I-95 in the south of the state — on Wednesday night.
“We want to assure the community that there is no health risk associated with these animals,” the Yemassee Police Department said.

And the victims typically die as a result.
Yes.
Most animals used in research are bred and raised specifically for that purpose. The animals have little ability to survive on their own.
But a lot of the ‘Animal Rights’ people are ignorant of that. They just have ‘feeeeeelings’.
LOL! Monkeys! ;-D
This facility is 30 miles north of us. Apparently this isn't the first time monkeys have escaped from Alpha Genesis bio-research lab.
No monkeys at our door yet. Plenty of geckos and a few gators are around though.
LOL!
