BOISE, Idaho -- A break-in at Zoo Boise early Saturday left a Patas monkey dead from blunt force trauma to the head and neck and police were analyzing blood found at the scene to determine if it came from the monkey or one of two human intruders.
Two males wearing dark clothing were spotted by a security guard at 4:30 a.m. outside the fence near the primate exhibit, police said. Both fled, one of them heading into the interior of the zoo. Boise police used a thermal imager in searching the 11-acre zoo grounds but didn't find the person.
Police said late Saturday that a grey baseball cap with a distinctive skull design found near the site was probably left behind by one of the intruders and it might help in tracking them down.
This sounds rather bizarre. Two people entered a zoo only for the purpose of brutally killing a monkey? Killing an animal to me is more sadistic than a human. Not to say one is better than the other, but animals just do what is in their nature. They mean no harm to anyone. The murderer usually has a reason for what they did, but what could have possibly been a reason for killing this animal?
TEENAGERS THESE DAYS. that poor monkey...
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly did the monkey do to deerve such a horrible punishment. They should've been tied up and locked in a cage (The teenagers) because that's cruel and unusual punishment.
