Appeals court sides with monkeys

Oogie, Angel, Coco, Squeaky and Zoey had cause to celebrate Wednesday when the highest court in Maryland ruled in their favor.

The Maryland Court of Appeals by a 6-1 vote shot down the decision of a lower court that previously ruled in favor of neighbors who asked that the 30 monkeys at Frisky?s Wildlife and Primate Sanctuary in Howard County be removed. Neighbors said the monkeys posed a risk to public health.
