Ohio, you're doing it wrong.

Unimpressed. Come back when you can cause them to quarantine a city.

Do not taunt herpes monkey.

Cmon! You're the worst audience ever!

She got it from Daniel,
Whose spaniel has it now.
Our dentist even got it
And we're still
Wondering how.

It's Okay, he'll freeze to death when winter comes.

syberpud: Do not taunt herpes monkey.

beat me to it.

It was also eaten by a big cat.

tacks: Or a tractor

heh

and so it begins...

did anyone else click the links to see the pictures of the dead animals? Fark me why did I do that.

/why is it so farking dusty here?!

Monkey or devolved Ohioan?

Actually they determined the Monkey was dead this morning (eaten by another animal - or sherrif ;))

Remind me not to let any monkeys buy me drinks.

Jake Havechek: This is why the ownership of exotic pets should be outlawed everywhere and policed.

It actually was outlawed in Ohio, but dickhead Gov. Kasich rescinded the law that prohibited ownership of wild animals. All hail libertarianism yee haw!!!

Barkeep, two shots of monkey piss over here.

Different monkey, I think.

FTFA: But two of the beasts eluded capture: a wolf and a monkey who may be infected with Herpes B, according to CBS. Another monkey from the Muskingum County Animal Farm was eaten by an escaped lion who has since been killed, ABC reported.

But I do see where your article references the eaten monkey as "the final missing monkey." Maybe they're confusing Herpes Monkey for a native Ohioan?

Monkey Police!

Hey! Devo is from Ohio

Wrong verb

From what I have heard the previous law allowed you to have one permit and as many animals as you wanted. Kasich let it expire so that a stricter law could be drafted. I don't have a source, just workplace gossip

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that "herpes" is the CDC's code word for "Rage Virus".

Not that Subby would kiss and tell. Again.

Why should the government be able tell me I can't build a menagerie of exotic and dangerous animals and then release them before right I blow my head off? I can't believe that our founding fathers would have wanted that and I don't see anything about exotic or dangerous animals in the constitution.

So, this was one of the monkeys NASA launched into space?

Yes, it could be another fellow Ohioan - Good Call!

I have seen plenty of folks around here who resemble a "Herpes Monkey"

I'm not sure why there is so much outrage over the breeding and raising of exotic animals. Just think of the additional cost to the caged hunt ranches if they had to import animals from africa or asia. Don't think for a minute they wouldn't pass those costs on to you, the discerning consumer.

Derp!

Kasich let the previous mandate expire because there was no way to enforce it. The Strickland mandate basically stated you can't have a billion exotic animals without a permit but there wasn't any infrastructure to actually shut any of these places down. There has to be people to handle the animals, transport them, people working to place the animals in zoos/sanctuaries, and money set aside to do all of this...

Kasich has had a committee (Columbus Zoo folks) working on better legislation but all that has been on the back burner because of the economy. I'm sure they will get after it now. To blame Kasich is moronic.

So that's why it hurts when I pee?

It's tough to tell which monkey has herpes

I remember seeing something about this in one of the initial articles. Oh noooo the monkey has herpes. Uhmm yeah and so does about 60% of the population (myself not included thank god) but it's actually a very common virus. Anyone who gets cold sores has herpes. A wild monkey coming after you would probably startle you enough, the fact that it has herpes doesn't really make it any worse. The people making your food at McDonalds probably have herpes.

I'm guessing that the dead guy had these animals well before the law expired in April. It seems like it would be difficult to obtain that many exotic animals in 6 months...

StrikitRich: The monkey had herpes. It was reportedly eaten by one of the cats.

So now the cat has... hepatitis.

If a person eats the cat, he will get AIDS.

It's the circle of life!
