Mississippi Mom Protects Her Children After<\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Residents of Heidelberg, Mississippi, were alarmed after a<\/p>\n

truck carrying rhesus monkeys overturned on Interstate 59,<\/p>\n

releasing several animals into neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

Mother Protects Family<\/strong><\/p>\n

For Jessica Bond Ferguson, the situation became personal when a monkey appeared near her home<\/p>\n

\u201cI did what any other mother would do to protect her children,\u201dshe told the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Armed and acting quickly, she said, \u201cIf it attacked somebody\u2019s kid, and I could have stopped it \u2014 that would have been on me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Animal Recovery<\/strong><\/p>\n

Officials confirmed one monkey was secured at Ferguson\u2019s home.<\/p>\n

Of the twenty-one monkeys that escaped, thirteen were recovered, five died, and three were unaccounted for.<\/p>\n

Though not infectious, authorities warned they were still unsafe due to their unpredictable nature.<\/p>\n

Community Reaction<\/strong><\/p>\n

The incident highlighted the risks of escaped wildlife and emergency preparedness in small towns.<\/p>\n

Ferguson admitted, \u201cIt\u2019s scary\u2026 you never expect something like this to happen here.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
