BREAKING: Rep. Nancy Mace has called for a full-blown investigation into the primate research facility Alpha Genesis after allowing 43 monkeys to escape captivity.
Just eight monkeys remain free from the group who more than a week ago broke out of a South Carolina compound that breeds the primates for medical research. Forty-three monkeys made a break for it Nov. 6 after an employee didn’t fully lock their enclosure

🚨BREAKING: Citing documents obtained by WCW, @RepNancyMace demands answers from @NIH & @USDA about funding & oversight of the taxpayer-funded primate lab in her district where 43 monkeys escaped last week
As of Monday evening, more than half of the rhesus macaque monkeys that escaped from a South Carolina lab have been recovered. There are 13 monkeys remaining of the 43 that broke loose Wednesday that have yet to be captured. https://t.co/S9cOxGROFi
Three days ago, 43 monkeys escaped notorious monkey dealer Alpha Genesis—and can we blame them? 🥺
THIS is why monkeys escape from labs—they belong in nature!
