Now this is different. I guess the rescuers did not realize that the monkeys were going to a lab and not the capital.
VALLEY TOWNSHIP, MONTOUR COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A trailer carrying 100 monkeys collided with a dump truck off I-80 Friday, four monkeys have gone missing.

As of Saturday morning, one monkey is still unaccounted for. If anyone sees the monkey please do not try to catch it, call 911 and wait for the authorities.

According to State Police, the incident occurred around 3:30 p.m. on Route 54 off Interstate 80 when four monkeys got loose during the commotion of the crash.

Eyewitness News is working on getting confirmation if the monkeys have been captured.

PA Game Commission is looking for the missing monkeys in a wooded area with the assistance of a helicopter provided by the Pennsylvania State Police.

When word got out that these three-pound monkeys were on the loose, the Allen family sprang into action.

“We just decided to come and try, see if we could find one,” said Nate Allen.

These Montoursville residents are animals lovers and drove half an hour to search the woods along Route 54 just off I-80.

That’s the spot where State Police and game wardens searched for the primates.

“I saw it on Facebook, and actually this started as kind of a family fun joke about just making an experience and going to try and save a monkey, so I actually brought a kennel, flashlights night vision goggles,” stated Allen.

The bitter cold did not deter their efforts to lend a hand.

“We were worried because my one friend is a state police officer and she’s like, you know, they can’t be out there that long! So we said oh no,” explained Elisa Allen.

Troopers on the scene stated that the monkeys weigh about three pounds. Route 54 was closed in both directions, however, as of 8:00 p.m., it reopened.



Officials are warning the public to keep their distance if they spot a monkey and to call 911. This is an ongoing story we will update you with the latest as the information is released.

Monkey season is open in PA!! No bag limits.

Some monkeys carry. Just sayin'...

Do you want an ebola outbreak? Because this is how you get an ebola outbreak.

Oh great, just what we need. A group of monkeys roving around Pensultucky. Pretty soon they'll teach themselves to ride horses and the next thing you know they'll be raising an army.

Then we're screwed.

I hope they didn't originally come from Wuhan China.

I was involved in a loose monkey hunt once. Some jackass had one as a pet (a Chimpanzee) and it escaped his house. We called the Cincinnati Zoo for help and advice. They told us that Chimps are very dangerous, aggressive and capable of killing you.
End result: Monkey got plinked.

Similar story here with a big lizard that got loose from a nitwit owner and rampaged through our neighborhood. Animal Control wanted nothing to do with the problem and referred us to Fish and Game. Fish and Game was too busy to get to it anytime soon. Not a problem a Marlin 336 couldn't (and didn't) handle.

The 911 call of the Chimpanzee attack was haunting. I had to close it.

Worked on a commercial years ago with Orangutans (one of them was “Clyde” from “Every Which Way But Loose”).

Had a very serious safety meeting about procedures. Told us someone thought it’d be cute to stick his finger in the cage. It got plucked off the guy’s hand like it was a grape.

Why anyone would keep a primate as a pet is beyond me.

The very best advice I ever got as a teenager, from my uncle:

"A smart monkey don't monkey with another monkey's monkey." Now, he MAY have been talking about a different kind of monkey, but I think it would apply her also - especially for me!

Three little monkeys jumpin on a bed one fell off and bumped his head. Took him to the doctor and the doctor said thats what you get for jumpin on the bed. No more monkeys jumpin on the bed.
