43 escaped monkeys are still at Alpha Genesis Research Center in Yemassee , South Carolina .

Alpha Genesis CEO Greg Westergaard says the monkeys are grabbing food from staff before running away again.

Crews from Alpha Genesis are continuing to try and trap them with food.

The animals are not being used in testing and are “too young” to carry disease.

Our office has been in direct communication with the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office and is working closely with their team to monitor and assess the situation. We are withholding any formal statements until we have a complete understanding of all the facts. Stay tuned Police and deputies are asking the public to stay clear of the area of the Castle Hall Road facility because the monkeys are skittish and any additional noise or movement could prevent them from being recaptured. Authorities say anyone who locates one of the monkeys should not approach the animal and should immediately call 911 . Copyright 2024 WCSC. All rights reserved..
