They are not infected with any disease whatsoever. They are harmless and a little skittish,”

The monkeys are females weighing about 7 pounds (3 kilograms) and are so young and small that they haven’t been used for testing...

TRANSLATION: If you live in South Carolina, go get yourself an adorable monkey friend and save her from a hellish life.

Yeah, I'm gonna assume we are in danger based on multiple documentaries.

  • 12 Monkeys

  • 28 Days Later

  • Contagion

  • Outbreak

  • Planet of the Apes

28 ______ Later?

(Edit) I know they didn't initially escape, but if memory serves, monkeys were the initial cause of Rage.

Dammit! That was the first one I thought of before accidentally swiping back a page and losing the comment that I had started.

I'm putting it back in.

Maybe it was more like Project X and someone saved a bunch of super intelligent monkeys... Probably should secure any aircraft, cause otherwise they're heading straight for the Everglades!

The new guy didn't close the gate? I feel there should be more barriers to 43 monkeys escaping, no matter if they'd been infected with something or not. Pun intended

Oh hell, if you’re in the region and see Bruce Willis, try to help him.

Conversely, if you see Cillian Murphy, run like hell.

It's because they're trying to escape to Monkey Island.
