Tagged: Florida, Puerto RicoPosted on: December 11th, 2007
Puerto Rico officials have a new plan to solve their monkey problem: export them to Central Florida.
About 30 patas monkeys have been shipped to the Florida International Teaching Zoo in Sumter County as part of a larger strategy to capture, neuter, track and export packs of monkeys that have invaded the island from a defunct research facility.
The head of the teaching zoo has committed to taking at least 300 monkeys and finding homes for them with zoological organizations around the world.”*
