IT LOOKS LIKE WE’VE GOT SOME MONKEY BUSINESS GOING ON AT A COUPLE ZOOS IN AMERICA AND IT’S STARTING TO GET VERY STRANGE
TWO EMPEROR TAMARIN MONKEYS THAT WENT MISSING FROM THE DALLAS ZOO THIS WEEK HAVE BEEN FOUND INSIDE A CLOSET AT AN ABANDONED HOME
THE MONKEYS’ ENCLOSURES HAD BEEN CUT THE DAY PRIOR, AND AFTER RECEIVING A TIP – THEY WERE DISCOVERED BY AUTHORITIES WHO ARE YET TO FIND THE PERSON BEHIND IT
THE NEWS COMES JUST A WEEK AFTER A CLOUDED LEOPARD NAMED NOVA ESCAPED HER ENCLOSURE AT THE SAME ZOO
THIS 25 POUND CAT WAS FEARED TO HAVE BEEN STOLEN BEFORE OFFICIALS FOUND HER NEARBY ALONG WITH A SLASH IN THE ENCLOSURE – NOW PROMPTING A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION
AND AS IF THAT’S NOT ENOUGH DRAMA FOR ONE ZOO, A RARE AND ENDANGERED LAPPET-FACED VULTURE WAS FOUND DEAD AT THE SAME ZOO, WITH AN UNUSUAL WOUND
IT’S UNCLEAR IF ALL THESE INCIDENTS ARE CONNECTED, BUT IT’S A MYSTERY NOW CROSSING STATE LINES
OVER THE WEEKEND ABOUT 400 MILES AWAY- 12 SQUIRREL MONKEYS WERE REPORTED STOLEN FROM A ZOO IN LOUISIANA – OFFICIALS THERE HAVE LAUNCHED THEIR OWN INVESTIGATION
IS IT ALL A COINCIDENCE? MAYBE, MAYBE NOT – BUT WE’LL FOLLOWING THE LATEST HERE AT STRAIGHT ARROW NEWS – UNBIASED, STRAIGHT FACTS
