All loose monkeys accounted for

So many monkeys being used as experiments in their science labs.  Will Planet of the Apes be their ultimate goal?

Lab-Bound Monkeys Escaped Highway Crash—With Viruses?:

PETA has obtained eyewitness information that a woman at the scene of last week’s truck crash—in which crates containing 100 monkeys who were being transported to a laboratory flew onto the road—got an eyeful of monkey saliva that has caused a reaction. She’s now on antiviral drugs and medication to protect against rabies.

Their crates—that weren’t strapped in as required—tumbled from the truck. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should be scrambling to ensure that numerous other people who were at the scene aren’t in danger.

For the safety of animals and humans, the U.S. must stop pretending that experiments on monkeys are useful and stop importing them.  In light of this fiasco, PETA filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) director of animal welfare operations, asking him to investigate the treatment of these monkeys. The USDA has now confirmed that it’s investigating.

Infected Monkeys—This Is How Pandemics Start:
The monkeys had just arrived in New York from what is likely a squalid breeding farm in Mauritius. They had not been quarantined, and their health status was unknown. Monkeys can carry lethal pathogens that spread through their saliva, blood, feces, and urine. Photos taken at the site of the Pennsylvania monkey crash reveal a worrying lack of biosecurity—people dragging boxes barehanded, motorists sticking their faces into crates, and of course, the escaped, likely terrified and disoriented monkeys who were thrown out into freezing cold weather and will likely die from their injuries and/or exposure or be killed.

There is no way to ensure that monkeys are virus-free, and state veterinary and other records uncovered by PETA show that monkeys in laboratories in the U.S. have been found with tuberculosis, Chagas disease, cholera, and MRSA. The only way to ensure that pathogens don’t jump from monkeys to humans is to stop importing, caging, and experimenting on these animals. A 2020 pathology report uncovered by PETA shows that shortly after clearing Centers for Disease Control quarantine, one monkey from Mauritius arrived at the University of Washington infected with giardia and campylobacter.

This Monkey Crash Should Never Have Happened:
The industry that claims to be developing vaccines and treatments for human diseases not only fails to deliver results from animal-based experimentation, but also cruelly abuses and wastes the lives of sensitive monkeys and poses health risks to the general public by failing to safely contain the animals they use.

Those poor monkeys not only were deliberately infected with disease but they came from a tropical island and were exposed to snow and frigid temperatures after their escape.

The picture of the one huddled in the tree breaks my heart. 🙁

So we are going from the "Contagion" movie script to maybe the "Outbreak" movie script?!?! https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/01/cdc-monitoring-local-residents-cold-like-symptoms-following-crash-semi-carrying-100-cdc-test-monkeys/?fbclid=IwAR2g64p7s56toYEM5FU9bnLG9-8lkeiYpXCzkVRUCJUwW1U5ueMWlR1yK28
