 Zeke will soon have a new home. ORLANDO, FL (Catholic Online) - Zeke, a rhesus macaque, escaped on Sunday and was eventually captured by animal control officers. His owner has decided to ship him to the Central Florida Zoo.
Officials are warning people about keeping exotic pets, particularly monkeys. Many monkeys are large and powerful animals with long life spans. Caring for them and maintaining safety for owners and neighbors is a significant responsibility. Zeke's owner says he will find it difficult to say goodbye but acknowledges that it is the best thing to do. © 2012, Distributed by NEWS CONSORTIUM. - - - Pope Benedict XVI's Prayer Intentions for January 2013 General Intention: The Faith of Christians.
