They are not infected with any disease whatsoever. They are harmless and a little skittish,”

The monkeys are females weighing about 7 pounds (3 kilograms) and are so young and small that they haven’t been used for testing…

TRANSLATION: If you live in South Carolina, go get yourself an adorable monkey friend and save her from a hellish life.

(Edit) I know they didn’t initially escape, but if memory serves, monkeys were the initial cause of Rage.

Maybe it was more like Project X and someone saved a bunch of super intelligent monkeys… Probably should secure any aircraft, cause otherwise they’re heading straight for the Everglades!

The new guy didn’t close the gate? I feel there should be more barriers to 43 monkeys escaping, no matter if they’d been infected with something or not. Pun intended
