Sounds like it might have been a jealous husband.

The monkey was a poo thrower.

The article is poorly written...the 2 men were spotted near the fence outside the primate area (not a perimeter fence). The injured monkey is discovered near the perimeter fence. My guess is they were stealing a monkey. So they get one, manage to injure it and go back for another when they are found out and take off in opposite directions. 11 acre zoo, easy for them to elude zoo personnel.

Looks like they’ve caught the perp. As I (and others) guessed this doesn’t seem to have been a deliberate monkey murder.

More along the lines of: 22-year-old idiot gets drunk, decides he wants to steal a monkey. Breaks in, nabs monkey, puts it in his coat. Monkey understandably bites idiot drunk, idiot drunk whacks monkey in the head with tree branch.

Yea saw that. Never underestimate the stupidity of drunks. “I know let’s go steal a monkey!”

I stand by my earlier statement about moving to people...though maybe not as violence minded as I thought the guy was, on a path to grand theft and larceny.

Unfortunately drunks who end up injuring or killing monkeys through foolishness or negligence can end up if they’re not careful killing human beings through foolishness or negligence.

If this guy is smart, he will consider this the biggest alarm bell of his life, and pay heed.
