Reads like a movie plot. 40 monkeys from a brain and behavior testing facillity escaped in South Carolina and remain on the loose. The antagonist company is actually named "Alpha Genesis", as if that isnt a dead give away. No word on when future Bruce Willis will be showing up.
Monkeys escape from Alpha Genesis research facility in South Carolina
“Residents are strongly advised to keep doors and windows secured to prevent these animals from entering homes,” Yemassee Sheriff’s Department said in a statement. Anyone who finds a monkey should not interact with it but instead call 911, it said.
The company works with monkeys to carry out clinical trials, including on brain disease disorder treatments, and says it has "one of the largest and most comprehensive nonhuman primate facilities, designed specifically for monkeys, in the United States."
Alpha Genesis did not immediately respond to an overnight request for comment from NBC News.
