Pet Monkey Goes Berserk
HAMILTON COUNTY (WISH) – A pet monkey went berserk Wednesday morning injuring two people and prompting a family to barricade themselves in a Hamilton County home.
Hamilton County Sheriff’s Deputies were called to a home in the 2900 block of East 276th Street after Eujo, the Patas monkey, got out of his cage.
Deputies called in animal control officer Tom Rogers who was finally able to wrangle the monkey.
The two injured people are said to have minor injuries.
The Patas monkey is said to be one of the fastest primates; it can reach speeds of 34 mph.
A few days ago it was Jungle Cats in Indiana. Today it’s a pet monkey. Seriously people, what are you thinking with your exotic pets? I know what I’m thinking…I’m thinking that’s kind of funny and want to see a video. You have fun with your monkey. I’ll stick with my Zhu Zhu Pets.
