Officials at the Texas Biomedical Research Institute say the fourth baboon who escaped from their facility Saturday has been captured. All four baboons have been checked by veterinary staff and are well, a news release reports. No details were given on where the baboon was caught... Officials did not say how the animals escaped, only that the four were able to get past perimeter fencing at the institute. Witnesses quickly took to to social media to report baboons on the loose after catching sight of the runaways near Northwest Loop 410 and West Military Drive. Jannell Bouton, 26, snapped photos with her phone while traveling in the area. She witnessed the capture team corner one of the animals in a tree.

"In addition to the one level-4 lab — where the Ebola, Lassa and Marburg viruses are studied — Texas Biomed has seven lesser-risk level-3 labs, where serious or potentially lethal diseases such as anthrax, plague and West Nile virus are studied; and more than 60 level-2 labs for diseases of varying severity, including herpes simplex and hepatitis C and B."

Seems odd. Is there a PETA plant inside the facility?
Escapisms of a Level 4 facility sound criminal not accidental. Is there some sabotage by PETA going on? This is intolerable.
Were they registered as democrat voters while they were out?
The monkeys absolutely are not infected with the zombie virus... probably.
“Don’t go out tonight
‘cause it’s bound to take your life...
There’s a baboon on the right!”
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
Have they been nominated to run for Congress as Democrats yet?
If not, what’s the hold-up?
I think the zombie virus is actually a fungi
Isn’t this how 28 Days Later began?
Load up for them thar Rage Zombies.
(Of course, Texas is the WORST place for the Zombie Poxyclypse to happen -for the zombies)
"I'm watchin' y'all!"
A group of baboons is called a troop.
As in "There is a troop of baboons pooping in my car."
Is one of them named Caesar...
I’ve got an idea.
Stop using monkeys for researching. It’s cruel to the monkeys (or baboons or whatever), and very likely what they’re researching for is diabolical anyway.
Frankly, can you blame them?
They made a movie out of such a break out. It’s called “28 Days Later”.........

I second that. Use democrats instead.
