        As a matter of fact, yes. I was talking to a vet at a friend’s wedding, and he casually mentioned that working with simians is a dangerous field for many reasons that you wouldn’t think of, like their herpesvirus strains killing us.

            Well, yeah. The only way to get it is from contact with an infected monkey, or something that has recently contacted them, like a needle.

              With no end to deforestation in sight, and fixing the housing crisis, monkeys have been sharing crack houses with humans

        Probably more likely to die from beastiality rape.

        I was thinking cruise ship waste but uh… yeah… that’ll probably fuck up a penguin
