  Nacho Monkeys flavored..
context: I recall a story about a safari park type place down near Houston that was not profitable and was abandoned. The result being a troop of wild snow monkeys running around rural Texas. Apparently they started living on some guys roof and would break in to his house at night and steal food.
  So it could be worse. >
  
  Glad the monkeys were found and are okay.
  I wonder what his plan was at the aquarium? Smuggle out some fish? >
  
  The Dallas Aquarium has a lot of animal exhibits that aren't aquatic in nature - lots of birds and monkeys in the arboretum directly above the aquatic exhibits. It's pretty nice, honestly. >
  
  
  Irvin was charged with six counts of cruelty to a non-livestock animal in connection to the tamarin monkey case, and was taken to the Dallas County Jail.
  The monkeys were found Tuesday night after police received a tip that they were in an abandoned home in Lancaster.
  
  What a piece of human garbage. You've got to be a real lowlife to abuse animals. >
  
  Just to clarify, the monkeys were found to be hungry but physically uninjured. The "cruelty to non-livestock animals" charges are specifically about removing the animals from the only home they have ever known. Zoo animals are almost never capable of surviving very long outside of their familiar sheltered environment with excellent quality food, play activities designed by experts, appropriate climate control, etc. It is absolutely cruel to remove them from their home. Some animals can become very dangerous when frightened by sights and sounds in the outside world. >
  
  Yeah, this crime was never going to pay. If you want an animal to love and be loved by nothing is superior to a dog or cat. Exotic animals are for impressing dewbs on social media and someone there would have recognized these monkeys. >
  
  The long national nightmare is finally over. >
  
  It was all a fever dream and Harambe is still alive. I wonder if the Cubbies will finally win their first World Series this year. >
  
  Apparently authorities quit monkeying around >
  
  You could say they were in the monkey business >
  
  Mental illness takes many forms.
  Some people actually believe they are "helping the animals to be happy and free" by letting them loose from zoos, and they should get an award or something.
  Mishuggene. >
  
  The article does not mention a motive or mental illness. >
  
  No it doesn't, but cutting holes in fences of zoo exhibits to allow animals to escape is not mentally normal.
  Not saying he's "not guilty by reason of mental defect" in the legal sense, obviously that is not up to me.
  Just saying there most certainly are individuals who delusionally believe they are doing a good thing by letting zoo animals loose. >
  
  By that logic, all criminals aren't mentally normal. >
  
  Not all but some. >
  
  Good!  Too bad they can't be put in prison for life. >
  
  The monkeys? >
  
  No, the human thieves. >
  
  The Doritos made him do it.
