One of the monkeys destined for a laboratory was still on the loose in Pennsylvania on Saturday morning after making a daring escape from a wrecked vehicle.
While the Guardian reported Friday night that four monkeys escaped a transport truck carrying about 100 animals after an accident, WNEP reporter Marshall Keely reported Saturday that one monkey still had a chance at freedom and hadn't yet been re-captured.
Many of the followers of Keely thought a lab life was a waste and hoped the monkey would find a new life in the PA wilds.
One reader said that he would hide up a tree if he knew that someone in a lab coat would be injecting/spraying/smearing.
One person said they hope they get away altogether.
Four little monkeys.
The crash happened in Pennsylvania. The helicopter was used to try and recover them, and a photo of one of the escapees was released. It is not known how the single remaining monkey stayed on the run and how the other monkeys are doing.
It is hard to overstate how cruel and painful animal testing can be, and in many cases it may not even yield results that apply to human bodies. A donkey was killed after escaping a PA lab with other donkeys, and the incident followed a 2020 USDA complaint in which the same lab drained too much blood from a goat and ended up killing it. It is not clear if that lab is connected to the one transporting the monkeys.
Around 40,000 dogs, cats and primates are confined each year for animal testing, according to One Green Planet.
If enough monkeys got loose, it could cause problems in the neighborhoods, but many remain on their side.
One representative commented, "God bless the monkeys on the loose."
