A woman in Dickson, Oklahoma was attacked by a monkey outside her home, causing serious injuries. The monkey belonged to a neighbor and eventually hid in a wooded area. Attempts to catch the primate were unsuccessful, and a family friend shot and killed the monkey after it attacked him. Monkeys are not illegal in Oklahoma, and it will be up to the district attorney to decide on possible charges or fines. The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation assisted in the situation, which they said was unusual, and their first concern is public safety.
