Horse riding moneky flees
A HORSE-riding monkey has fled his circus and gone on the run. Reggie, a brown spider monkey who performs as a jockey in the Liebling Family Circus, got upset after his handler argued in front of him.
Described as “an angel”, Reggie gave his handler the slip after overhearing him row with an animal rights protester outside his cage in Fruitland, Florida.
A circus spokesman said: “Reggie got involved in the argument in his own way.
“Monkeys are very emotional. You have to forgive them.”
Now his trainers hope he might be lured home by pregnant girlfriend, Priscilla.
The pouting primate who performs alongside 20-year-old Reggie, has been stationed at the edge of nearby woods in the hope she will tempt her sweetheart home.
Circus owner Franciszka Liebel added: “I think he’s confused and lonely.”

“Monkeys are very emotional." Kramer: So, so what do you want me to do? Mr. Pless: Well, frankly we'd like you to apologize. Kramer: Yeah, well he started it. Mr. Pless: Mr. Kramer, he is an innocent primate. Kramer: So am I.

"Described as “an angel”, Reggie gave his handler the slip after overhearing him row with an animal rights protester outside his cage... If there were animal rights folks in the area, I'm guessing Reggie was *liberated.* The argument was probably just a means of distracting the owner.
