Freeeeedooom!

A rhesus macaque monkey being shipped to a Texas wildlife refuge got out of its cage and roamed the San Antonio airport for awhile this afternoon.

He didn't mess up any flight schedules before being tranquilized and returned to his travel container to continue his journey. He was apparently a research animal that had been retired from research programming and was being sent to the refuge to live out his days as he saw fit.

Rumors that when captured, he said, "Take your opposable thumbs off me, you stinking hairless human," are, as yet, unfounded.
