Florida monkeys excreting rare disease that can kill humans, scientists warn

quote [ Scientists studying a growing population of rhesus macaques in Silver Springs state park say that rather than just carrying herpes B, which is common in the species, some of the monkeys have the virus in their saliva and other bodily fluids, posing a potential risk of spreading the disease. ]

Have to ask - why are there monkeys roaming around Florida in the first place?

Because Republicans will cute off their nose to spite their face if Obama told them he liked it.

The reason there are pythons in Florida, is the same reason there are macaques. It's because Obama tried to pass legislation about exotic pets since they sometimes showed up in the ecosystem.

Florida basically was like "fuck that" and deregulated. Then hundreds of exotic pet owners suddenly realized their new expensive animal IS NOT A PET, just let them go.
