South Carolina Monkey Recapture Updates Are Ending

Have all the monkeys been recaptured? It's a topic that has the whole country interested. Apparently, the South Carolina monkey recapture updates are ending.

According to our source, wbtv.com, the Alpha Genesis Primate research facility in Yemassee, South Carolina has ceased updating us on their efforts to recapture monkeys. 43 monkeys reportedly escaped last month. Alpha Genesis reportedly says it was human error as a caretaker did not properly secure the monkey in their housing. The last word on their recapture was November 18th when we learned 37 have been found and accounted for. That was reportedly the last word.

It's possible this is the problem. Directly from WBTV in Charlotte," Alpha Genesis stopped sharing updates on the same day WBTV’s sister station FOX Carolina published a damning story about whistleblower documents -- which detailed previously reported moldy food, escapes, and deaths at the facility."

The television station has reached out for comment but none given so far. Officials say if anyone spies one of the rhesus macaques, do not approach them. Instead report it to 911.
