i've wondered about that too / timely post / when i lived on the beach in mexico there was an enclosure outside the dive shop with two spider monkeys for the tourists to gawk at / one day a hurricane came out of the sea right over where we were and the monkeys were left exposed (not my choice) and later one of those monkeys went crazy and started viciously attacking people and had to be put down / i wonder if the storm had some residual psychological effect / or maybe it just didn't like being locked up or maybe both
Oh my gosh - that sounds horrible. The monkey probably lost whatever faith it may have had in humans, though how much trust could it have built from gawking tourists? Surviving a massive hurricane probably didn’t help.
