I sure hope animal control has more than a burlap sack and a dog catching loop. God speed animal control. Here is the article:
San Antonio International Airport officials say a baboon that escaped it’s cage Monday afternoon is now in an isolated area.
Officials said it was running around an isolated baggage area where animals are checked after coming off a flight. Some passengers may have to wait a long time to receive their bags.
The baboon was on an American Airlines flight from Chicago when it escaped its crate.
Airport officials released the following statement.:
“After the arrival of American Airlines 1014 from Chicago O’Hare, a monkey that was en route to a local animal sanctuary and refuge in the San Antonio-area inadvertently became free of his cage. He is currently in an isolated area where it is safe, away from all of our team members and customers.
“We are working closely with the San Antonio Aviation Department and officials from the San Antonio Zoo. Officials from the zoo are now onsite to ensure his safety and wellbeing as he continues his journey to his new home at the primate sanctuary.”

It was also reported that the monkey had a note in his back pocket that he was going to escape in Chicago but decided to wait till San Antonio, and he was tired of the layovers.
