Headline is, as usual, completely incorrect as to the circumstances. These monkeys didn't escape, they were stolen. Article makes it sound like the latest in a string of break-ins at this zoo, which may or may not be related.

Dallas police said that they found the two emperor tamarin monkeys after getting a tip.

How do you tip a monkey? Do you give them cash or just give them a piece of fruit or something?

The monkey doesn't tell me what to play and I don't tell him what to do with his money

Cash is preferred, so we don't have to declare it on our taxes, but I'll never say no to some fresh berries

"The empty building where the monkeys were found was recently broken into and filled with wild animals, according to a nearby church that owned the property and planned to use it as a youth center."

i know this is just a sordid POS willing to cause great harm to animals for money by selling them as pets to the dumbest motherfarkers on the planet. i hope everyone involved gets caught and made as miserable as they were willing to make the innocent creatures.
but.
i wish this line was the start of a children's story, or maybe something from Tom Robbins. in a better world, the possibilities are, what i believe is largely referred to as, "zany"

If only there were some kind of device that could record the area where you've had multiple break ins.

I am completely against the private ownership of exotic animals but I want one of those awesome emperor monkeys as a pet

If only there was an army of 12 something that could save us....

When you tip the cops, it's a "bribe."

...erm, welcome to Fark?

I'm working on getting my head 'round monkeys being found in a building that was both "empty" and "filled with wild animals."  Was Schrödinger's cat there, too?   He may be behind this whole mess.

<chuckle> Well, the monkeys are both there and not there until one of them starts screeching and biting...

An inaccurate headline on Fark???  That's unpossible!

"Police said they then went to the empty home in Lancaster, located just south of Dallas, and found the monkeys safe in a closet."

Those poor monkeys.  They were happily living their closeted lives and, then, the police had to come and out them to the whole community.  Truly ACAB.

Also...  There is a gif for EVERYTHING!

Are they trying to build an Ark?
