Truck carrying monkeys with hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID crashes in Mississippi; 1 still missing [View all]
great.
JASPER COUNTY, Miss. - Authorities in Mississippi said several monkeys "have been destroyed" but one is still on the loose after a truck carrying the animals crashed on Tuesday.
Dig deeper:
In a Facebook post, the Jasper County Sheriff's Department said the Rhesus monkeys carried Hepatitis C, herpes and COVID and were deemed to be "aggressive to humans," requiring personal protective equipment to handle them.
Deputies said the truck carrying the monkeys crashed on Interstate 59 near mile marker 117.
They have been in contact with an animal disposal company to find the remaining monkey who escaped. Tulane University has been notified and will send a team tomorrow to collect the remaining monkeys that are still in cages.
that's it
