An escaped monkey from a privat zoo killed a child : Zoo News Digest: Monkey Mauls Six Month Old Baby To Death
The monkey species is Rhesus macaque. It was kept in cage and on leash. Its owner also keeps a smaller monkey and a bear, all seemingly illegal. Though not a zoo. His neighbours whose child was killed were aware about the animals and kinda used to them so they did not stop the monkey as soon as it entered their property before attack could happen. The monkey was captured and tested for rabies (just as the rabies is the one and only cause for primates' aggression... stupid people). Hope it finds a good home in some real zoo.
