“As of noon today, we would like to provide an update regarding the escaped primates. They have not yet been re-captured and returned to their enclosures. Current observations show the primates playfully exploring the perimeter fence of the facility, engaging with those still inside by cooing to them. Alpha Genesis is keeping a close watch on the situation while maintaining a safe distance at this time. The primates are exhibiting calm and playful behavior, which is a positive indication.”
“We kindly urge the public to stay clear of this area as Alpha Genesis works diligently to safely recover these animals and return them to their habitats unharmed. According to previous communications from Alpha Genesis, there is currently no threat to public health. We sincerely appreciate the community’s overwhelming support and concern as we work towards a positive resolution. We will provide further updates as more information becomes available,” says the Yemassee, South Carolina Police Department in an update on the monkey situation.
TLDR: They seem to be just hoping that all 43 monkeys go back to the lab on their own.
