That Monkey Had It Comin'

This story does not have a happy ending, unless you hate monkeys.

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - Bears killed and ate a monkey in a Dutch zoo in front of horrified visitors, witnesses and the zoo said Monday. In the incident Sunday at the Beekse Bergen Safari Park, several Sloth bears chased the Barbary macaque into an electric fence, where it was stunned.

The double-speak by the zoo officials is astounding!

The park confirmed the killing in a statement, saying: "In an area where Sloth bears, great apes and Barbary macaques have coexisted peacefully for a long time, the harmony was temporarily disturbed during opening hours on Sunday."

The harmony was temporarily disturbed? Someone forgot to give the bears their midnight snack!

If you can get to it, the PDF file accompanying this story has a great photo of the bears stalking the clueless monkey.
