Blogger’s Note: No wonder these animals are “aggressive to humans” if humans have treated these creatures in a barbaric manner. I understand that animals have been used in the development of human science – but I am also aware of how this process has been abused – quite often for commercial reasons (profit before well-being or even research relevance and research robustness). Why would monkeys that weigh around 3 stone – be infected with all these diseases – all at once? Why would they be transported like this – as if in a slaughter-house lorry? What other diseases – if any – do these monkeys possess? I suspect they will all be killed for daring to escape. This is not surprising as the underlying conditions that have led to this situation is a mixture of uncaring ignorance and advanced science. ACW (30.10.2025)

(ECNS) — A truck hauling monkeys overturned around the 117 mile marker North of Heidelberg in Mississippi on Wednesday, causing several monkeys to escape, according to the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department on its facebook account.
The truck was carrying Rehsus monkeys from Tulane University. The monkeys are approximately 40lbs and are aggressive to humans. They require personal protective equipment to handle, carrying hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID.
Three monkeys are still on the loose after the officials from Tulane were able to get inside the truck and get a correct count.
Officials from Tulane arrived on Wednesday evening. Mississippi Wildlife and Fisheries is also on site with local law enforcement.
