A second monkey that escaped from a transport truck last week was fatally shot along a Mississippi highway early Tuesday morning as authorities warned that one more primate is still at large.
A truck carrying 21 rhesus monkeys overturned in a ditch near Heidelberg, Miss. on Oct. 28. The truck was wrecked and several loose primates were able to escape through a hole in the back door.
On Tuesday, Jasper County Sheriff Randy Johnson confirmed that a second monkey was shot and killed by a civilian who spotted it crossing a highway.

“Gunned Down Monkeys” — not a bad title for a song.

If this monkey business had happened in Texas, the game wardens would have arrested the person for shooting on/across a public roadway.

The 3rd monkey is believed to be on his way to New York City, to accept an important position in the Mamdani administration.

“A second monkey that escaped from a transport truck last week was fatally shot along a Mississippi highway early Tuesday morning as authorities warned that one more primate is still at large.” Details man, I need to know the make and model of the firearm and caliber...in case I need to shoot a monkey.

Horrible. We don’t need lab animals for bioresrarch anymore. Send them back home. This is disgusting.

It isn’t easy bein’ mean.
These are rhesus monkeys, so there are pluses and minuses in all of this.

No second chances for these monkeys because there are simian people out there.
