The adventure for freedom 43 monkeys destined for all types of experimentscontinues. Three days after his escape, they have only been able to catch one.
Last Thursday these primates escaped from the laboratory Alpha Genesisin the town of Yemassee, in South Carolina (United States).
His caretakers forgot to lock it, and when a rhesus macaque He opened the door, the rest followed. All 43 primates are young females.
A fun swordfight of 43 primates
With very little tact, the local police published an alarming notice on your Facebook account:
“Residents are asked to keep doors and windows tightly closed and immediately report any sightings by calling 911. Do not attempt to approach these animals under any circumstances.”
People thought the monkeys had some kind of virus inoculated with them, but no. They are young females that have not yet been used in any experiments.. The precaution of not approaching is because they are wild animals, and they could attack if they are threatened.
These intrepid monkeys are rhesus macaques (Mulatto macaca), the most used in science to do experiments. They live in Asia, and are not in danger of extinction.
Rh positive or negative blood is named after these rhesus macaques.since it was discovered by analyzing the blood of these primates. Both the first transgenic primate, which had jellyfish genes, and the first cloned primate, in 2018, belong to this species.
Even They have traveled to space with NASA in the 50s and 60sand with Russia in the 90s.
As we can see in the previous video of CBS Newsmacacas roam freely in the lush forests around the laboratory. They have been seen playing with each other, and having fun jumping from tree to tree.
Catching them is very complicated, since they hide in the highest branches of the trees. treesand they are very agile and elusive.
Sleeping darts cannot be used Because, being in such high places, if they fall asleep they could fall from the tree and kill themselves.
For now they are content with setting food traps to catch them, but they have only “hunted” one. They trust that hunger will make them return to the laboratory, or they will fall further into traps.
It’s not the first time it happens. Alpha Genesis was already fined $12,600 in 2018 for violations that included four monkey escapes. Of the 30 escaped primates, one of them was never found.
The image of these 43 Rhesus macaques fleeing from a medical laboratory where they were going to be subjected to experiments has once again fueled the debate in the United States, about the use of intelligent animals in medical practices.
