Monkey attacks Tennessee woman, who shoots it; Animal later euthanized

https://newschannel9.com/news/...-daisy-thrasher-pike

A monkey attempted to attack a woman in Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee while she was feeding her cats. She shot it with a shotgun, and the animal was taken to the Chattanooga Zoo, where it later died.

Right now, Soddy-Daisy Police tell us they are trying to figure out who owned the monkey.

The incident happened Thursday afternoon at a home on Thrasher Pike.

Police say the woman, who had recently undergone hip surgery, was feeding her cats when the monkey approached and tried to attack her.

The woman went inside and retrieved a shotgun, and defended herself by shooting the monkey in her driveway.

The woman was not seriously hurt.

According to scanner audio we accessed on Broadcastify, the woman reported that the monkey was wearing a leash at the time.

The monkey was rushed to the Chattanooga Zoo.

The Chattanooga Zoo later told our newsroom the monkey was a vervet, and that its wounds were too severe for veterinarians to save it, and they euthanized it.

Jake Cash, Director of Marketing and Communications at Chattanooga Zoo, says...

"Every animal care professional we spoke to, and that was in the room, decided that the best, obvious course of action was just a humane euthanasia, due to the severity of the animals injuries."

The spokesman says while vervet monkeys are legal to own in Tennessee, they strongly recommend against having primates as pets.

"The one that we had here was male, and it seemed not full grown," Cash says. "Housing a primate like that comes with a lot of risks and challenges that people definitely need to fully understand before they undertake something like that."
State wildlife officials are now on the case.

Haitian illegals are recruiting the escapees for cat and dog hunting.

I'm not sure if it was a good idea or not.

Project X?

Matthew Broderick should provide an alibi.

That's fine, as far as it goes, but where's the GOOD stuff?

I think it's that big white pile in the foreground.


(Reference: There was verbal rumor last week that the facility tests coke-fueled monkeys. I'm unsure if that's true, but there must be something to it, or the meme wouldn't have been made.)

WTOP.com: 6 monkeys are still on the loose from a South Carolina compound after dozens escaped

YEMASSEE, S.C. (AP) — Six monkeys were still on the loose early Monday after dozens escaped earlier this month from a South Carolina compound that breeds the primates for medical research, according to authorities.

Two more Rhesus macaques were trapped Sunday outside the Alpha Genesis facility in Yemassee, bringing the total of recovered monkeys to 37 of the 43 that escaped, Alpha Genesis CEO Greg Westergaard said in a statement relayed by Yemassee Police in a social media post.

Both monkeys recaptured Sunday were examined and were in “excellent condition,” said Westergaard, who was present when they were recovered.

ROSAL

Yemasse?

Isn't there a fed.gov facility nearby that manages herds of hairless primates?

Have they looked there?
