Monkeys Stage a Great Escape

Forty-three monkeys escaped from a research facility in South Carolina, sparking interest and concern about animal experimentation practices. The incident occurred due to a failure to secure the enclosure at Alpha Genesis, a facility that provides primates for testing purposes. While some monkeys were quickly apprehended, several remain unaccounted for, raising questions about their welfare and the facility’s ethical practices. The situation has sparked conversations around the treatment of animals in research and the potential for future animal uprisings.
