Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil

It didn't go well.
Well aren't you lucky, now you get to see it again, live!:-)
How many got loose?
12 you say....
....well um crap....
Well 2025 has had a distinctly apocalyptic vibe.
Why is it never the god damned mermaids?
The truck driver said the monkeys were infected, that's the source for the sheriff's department.
The university they came from said they weren't, but they do have some monkeys that are, but they weren't on this semi trailer.
The article might've been changed, because it doesn't even say the truck driver said that. Covid and herpes aren't mentioned anywhere
Why do we even have this ~~lever~~ truck?
Trucks are used for transportation.
I forgot to put this on my 2025 bingo card.
That last one was a Sumatran Rat Monkey. :o
Uhh
I am rooting for the one on the loose. I want to name him Luigi.
All but one "destroyed". Sheesh. But, yeah, get that other one, too.
As if I needed another reason to never go to Mississippi.
...regulations in Mississippi? none, accidents? high....
