It has been determined that the enclosure the monkeys escaped from was new and in perfect working order. The employee that accidently left the gate open immediately walked off of the job and has not returned.

You have to wonder how many bananas it took to pay him off.

So a human was working with the monkeys to escape? These monkeys are so close changing our world. Be vigilant people

Down to 13 monkeys aka "the Sequel"

Authorities have asked locals to refrain from operating drones there "as they can startle the animals and cause further stress."

Is it really the locals flying the drones or the monkeys planning their attack ?
Stay tuned.

That's my concern. If you look at all conflicts in the history of mankind step one is gather information. These monkeys could very well be in step one. If that area all of sudden loses power we really need to act quickly.

Pretty sure all you need to do is publish a limit on monkeys in the local communities and the necks would take care of the problem. It's already deer season so they are in the woods already.

Here's what troubles me, these are test monkeys so ostensibly they aren't making it out of this gig alive anyhow. Sure, some of them might be in a longer term study but they are monkeys, test monkeys to boot, they'll make more. So why are they trying so hard to capture the escapee's instead of just neutralizing them, patching the hole in the fence and moving on? Methinks there is something more to these primates than meets the eye, they're "special" somehow. Monkey super warriors? We just saw a weaponized dead Russian war whale wash up on the beach in Norway. They want these monkeys back just a little too much for my liking.

DUDE!!!!! Don't say you weren't warned. I'm going to go buy more ammo right now.

The escape, which occurred on Wednesday, Nov. 6, is the "latest in a long list of violations from this USDA and NIH-funded laboratory," said Nancy Mace, U.S. Rep. for South Carolina's 1st District, in a Tuesday statement.

“For years, Alpha Genesis has racked up federal contracts and taxpayer dollars while consistently violating animal welfare laws and exposing the public to dangerous escapes,” Mace said in a letter. “NIH and USDA need to step up and ensure South Carolinians don’t bear the risk of this lab's negligence.”

Approximately 5,000 monkeys bred for biomedical and scientific research are housed at two Alpha Genesis sites across the state.

"Housing over 10,000 primates, including 3,300 on NIH’s controversial Monkey Island, the lab has faced frequent federal citations for unsafe enclosures, poor veterinary care, and preventable animal deaths," Mace wrote. "Yet oversight remains minimal, with recent inspections confirming multiple violations, including escaped primates and fatal neglect."

Alpha Genesis primates, Mace alleges are "subjected to painful and deadly experiments involving dangerous pathogens and invasive procedures."

I'm glad they're not jumping on my bed.
 
In unrelated news, but kinda related, I just read an article that we are literally giving female hormones to male monkeys. Wtf. Federally funded. Ha ha

So they are doing a recon like Steve McQueen in The Great Escape?

Very clever.

Locally, three businesses — Dustbone Apparel, Shellring Ale Works and Living Waters Boat Tours — have teamed up to host the Lab Monkey Freedom Run at 2 p.m. Sunday at Shellring Ale Works in Port Royal, said Shellring owner Nick Borreggine. Proceeds will go to Born Free USA.
They will also be introducing a new beer.

Due to our cultural temperature and the fact I do not want to alienate any of my fans I'm not gonna touch this. Just know. I see you South Carolina.
 
I think they're coordinating! We might be at the start of a second wave incursion:

Law and disorder as Thai police station comes under monkey attack

Police in central Thailand said they barricaded themselves into their own station over the weekend, after a menacing mob of 200 escaped monkeys ran riot on the town. But on Saturday around 200 of the primates broke out and rampaged through town, with one posse descending on a local police station.

Police in central Thailand said they barricaded themselves into their own station over the weekend, after a menacing mob of 200 escaped monkeys ran riot on the town.

The human inhabitants of Lopburi have long suffered from a growing and aggressive monkey population and authorities have built special enclosures to contain groups of the unruly residents.

But on Saturday around 200 of the primates broke out and rampaged through town, with one posse descending on a local police station.



"We've had to make sure doors and windows are closed to prevent them from entering the building for food," police captain Somchai Seedee told AFP on Monday.

He was concerned the marauders could destroy property including police documents, he added.

Traffic cops and officers on guard duty were being called in to fend off the visitors, the Lopburi police said on Facebook on Sunday.

Around a dozen of the intruders were still perched proudly on the roof of the police station on Monday, photos from local media showed.

There's even monkey graffiti on the side of the building. I had no idea they knew how to use mace.

The real experiment was seeing what would happen if monkeys were to escape from a lab.

Whoever was orchestrating that left a large gaping hole in their future plans. The locals were explicitly told to stay out of it. That's like saying "we aren't going to worry about the 385 million guns in America owned by private citizens when we invade." I can't emphasize enough, had there been no restrictions on monkeys during this time, not only would the threat have been eliminated, the taxidermy business would have been backed up for 6 months stuffing all the trophies and there probably would have been no less then 52 different recipes on how to incorporate monkey into your low country boil.

The 'necks in that part of the state have been hunting the same stuff since before the revolutionary war. You introduce a new species into the mix and tell them to limit out? The only thing there would a shortage of would be 5.56 ammo.

Edit to add - remember last week, they told the locals not to be throwing drones up to hunt track the escapees

And just like that this monkey fiasco went biblical. Of course it did. We caught the dumb ones quick. We waited out the smarter ones a bit, but ended up catching them. Now these 4? Shoot to kill people. These are the ones. Sorry for being violent, just seems like the logical option.
