Quote:. . . Initial information from the sheriff’s office said the monkeys were said to be carrying hepatitis C, herpes and COVID. They were described as 40 pounds and “aggressive” to humans, requiring personal protective equipment to handle.
Officials said if the monkeys left the wreck site, they must be shot.
However, Tulane University disputed information about the monkeys having infectious diseases.

Authorities said the driver of the truck carrying the monkeys told law enforcement that the monkeys “were dangerous” and “posed a threat to humans.” They managed to kill all but one of the loose monkeys. However, the university says monkeys on the overturned truck were not infected with hepatitis C, herpes, or COVID.
Again?!? Didn't something like this happen a couple of years ago in PA? Wait, yes. Yes, it did.
