South Carolina on Alert as 43 Monkeys Escape from Research Facility

In South Carolina, 43 monkeys escaped from the Alpha Genesis research facility after a caretaker failed to secure two doors. The monkeys, young females weighing 6 to 7 lbs, are loose in a wooded area near Yemassee. Police urge locals to avoid the area and call 911 if they spot the primates. The facility is using food to lure the monkeys back. This incident raises concerns about the ethics of primate research, with animal rights groups advocating for non-animal research methods.
