In sunny San Antonio, a diapered spider monkey decided to spice things up. Despite it being illegal to own such a primate in the city, someone had one, and it escaped. This wasn't a casual stroll; the monkey was seen sprinting across rooftops and leaping over fences, giving local residents quite a shock. "Is that...a monkey?" one can imagine them asking. Animal Care Services, probably thinking it was a prank call, responded and managed to capture the agile escape artist. The story took another turn when it was discovered the owners were just passing through town with their illegal pet. They were slapped with numerous citations for their pet-related infractions. While the incident was humorous, it highlighted a serious issue: the welfare of exotic animals, as the monkey's dirty diaper suggested inadequate care. The moral of the story? Don't illegally own a monkey; it's bad for everyone involved.
